My summer

“My Summer”

Met you under small town skies

Sunset fire in your eyes

Wind caught up in your hair

Whole world slowed when you stood there

Front porch nights, cheap red wine

Laughing like we had all the time

Didn’t know then what I know now

You were forever, I just didn’t know how

Every road I’ve ever run

Led me straight to you, my one

Oh Summer, you’re my July sky

My steady heart when the storms roll by

When I’m lost, you’re my true north star

No matter where I go, that’s where you are

You’re the calm in the chaos I’ve been through

The best part of “I do”

Girl, every season I discover

I don’t just love you…

You’re my Summer

Morning light on your sleepy smile

Makes every hard day worth the while

Your hand in mine fits just right

Like God made it that way that night

We ain’t perfect, but we’re strong

Built this life board by board, song by song

Through the highs and the hurting too

There ain’t a me without a you

If the world goes cold and the money runs thin

I’d choose that porch with you again

Gray hair coming, time moves on

But my love for you just keeps growing strong

Oh Summer, you’re my July sky

Still get that spark when you walk by

From young and wild to settled down

You’re the queen of this little town

And when they lay me in that ground someday

There’s one thing I’ll still say —

Girl, forever ain’t long enough

With you, my Summer, my love
