Summer

Summer days at grandma's house laughter filled the air You were tall and handsome didn't care but your smile was always there Jokes and whispers all around our secret little space You were a summer friend I was young but you left a trace I prayed hard to guard my heart but your prayer was stronger still Tried to forget you in a city far but you're in my thoughts at will Oh summer's echo calling me back to you Where love was just a shadow but now it's shining through Tried to run tried to hide but your memory won't let go In the dance of life you and I we found a love to show Years went by our paths apart yet you stayed on my mind Focused on becoming more leaving love behind Riding on your motorbike at sunrise or sunset's glow I invited you to the school ball our bond began to grow I prayed hard to guard my heart but your prayer was stronger still Tried to forget you in a city far but you're in my thoughts at will Oh summer's echo calling me back to you Where love was just a shadow but now it's shining through Tried to run tried to hide but your memory won't let go In the dance of life you and I we found a love to show The day you planned to propose another girl had her chance She tried to take your hand but we stuck to our romance You and I had our date at lunchtime love shone through You asked I said yes our hearts knew what to do Oh summer's echo calling me back to you Where love was just a shadow but now it's shining through Tried to run tried to hide but your memory won't let go In the dance of life you and I we found a love to show
