Summer Of 17
Available on Explore
Hopes, promises, sun lit dreams,
Fields of hay,
Music plays,
And ice cream.
It was the summer of seventeen,
Parks, plazas, bikini queens,
Hosepipe spray,
Sun fans splayed,
And bronze sheen.
Sun it shone so bright I thought to look for you,
Dappling through the trees the cotton ignored you,
Waiting in the glade the grass was resplendent in its green,
Hours passed so fast we hardly saw the sun set,
Shining lights of bars recalled when we first met,
Energy and life it seemed to wrap us in a haze that filled the night.
And then your smile it told me of pleasure,
Like the time we talked on, of forever and ever,
Our hopes and dreams they pulled us together,
Wonderfully, wistfully, hopefully, dreamily.
It was the summer of seventeen,
World travels, sights and scenes,
Ancient stones,
Overgrown,
And ice cream.
It was the summer of seventeen,
Strange places we'd never been,
Towns to know,
Friends that go,
And socks clean.
When we stood together, the world was before us,
Holding hidden treasure the sunsets were gorgeous,
Breaths of golden air seemed to ignite your very soul.
Candlelight and trees held close to enshroud us,
Campfire and heat to entice and draw us,
Closer than I thought or that I hoped that we would ever really be.
And then your words they took me to heaven,
And your moves they held me in enthrallment, enthrallment,
With every night we seemed to grow closer,
Urgently, restlessly, frantically, breathlessly.
It was the summer of seventeen,
Mem'ries laid every place we'd see,
Foreign shores,
Hotel doors,
And trees green.
It was the summer of seventeen,
Feel giant with the world beneath,
Stand up tall,
Hear the call,
Of new dreams.
Our hearts were pure and strengthened whatever,
Dreams, I thought we'd share on, on together, together,
Those days it seemed that we'd last forever,
Restlessly, hopefully, wishfully, joyfully.
