Ice cream melting too fast,
Can’t even catch the drips.
Twilight squeals of little kids at play
Outside my window.
Sultry summer breezes cooling my skin,
Cool splash of water at the pool.
Sippin’ a Mai Tai in the afternoon shade;
People watching with my man.
Time seems to slow down
Just a tiny bit
As the sun warms the air.
Birds sing. Lawns are mowed.
Summertime.
Livin ain’t easy but life seems
Just a little less frantic when it’s warm.

Ice cream melting too fast,
Can’t even catch the drips.
Twilight squeals of little kids at play
Outside my window.
Sultry summer breezes cooling my skin,
Cool splash of water at the pool.
Sippin’ a Mai Tai in the afternoon shade;
People watching with my man.
Time seems to slow down
Just a tiny bit
As the sun warms the air.
Birds sing. Lawns are mowed.
Summertime.
Livin ain’t easy but life seems
Just a little less frantic when it’s warm.
