about

Summer, 2008

lyrics

We can lay below a clear, Virginian sky
And watch the airplanes blinking up so high.
Above our heads, a hundred stars
They shine so bright.
Twenty thousand more will help
Illuminate the night.

We'll dangle our bare feet from a crescent moon.
Innocence will not vanish so soon.

You are my ray of color in a world that's black and white.
You are the sound of crickets by my window on a summer's night.
You are the smell of freshly cut grass,
And the flowers that bloom in the wild.
You are the breeze that reminds me
I will always be a child.

We can dance between millions of raindrops
And watch the lightning flash so far away.
And when the the sun comes out and all the thunder stops,
A technicolor rainbow will remain.

We'll lay upon a blanket in the grass.
Innocence will not vanish so fast.

You are my ray of color in a world that's black and white.
You are the sound of crickets by my window on a summer's night.
You are the smell of freshly cut grass,
And the flowers that bloom in the wild.
You are the breeze that reminds me
I will always be a child.

So let's hold on to the seconds before they pass us by.
And when our futures beckon, it will be easier to say good-bye.

You are my ray of color in a world that's black and white.
You are the sound of crickets by my window on a summer's night.
You are the smell of freshly cut grass,
And the flowers that bloom in the wild.
You are the breeze that reminds me
I will always be a child.
