In clover fields 'neath a midday sun
Oh, let me be the summer and you be the sun.
Or if I am the sky, then you're a balloon
We could both float away, take a trip to the moon.
We can wear jeweled crowns and build an empire
Or grab a guitar and sing by the fire.
We'll laugh like thunder and love like rain
Catch fireflies like we're five again.

I'll kiss your knees if you fall while we run
Oh, let me be the summer and you be the sun.
We'll make a pact that we'll never part
The impossible dream of a child's heart.
We can tell tall tales and paint the trees
Or steal a ship, sail away to the sea.
We'll shine the stars with the edge of our sleeves
And stay up all night, never falling asleep.

We'll both grow up and fall in love
Oh, let me be the summer and you be the sun.
We'll teach our kids to imagine and dream
By telling them stories of you and me.
How we wore jeweled crowns and built an empire
You played the guitar as I sang by the fire.
We laughed like thunder and loved like rain
Caught fireflies to feel young again.
How we told tall tales and painted the trees
And stole a ship, sailed away to the sea.
Oh, we shined the stars with the edge of our sleeves
And they'll stay up all night, never falling asleep.
