Summer of 2016

[Verse 1]
Barefoot running down the street
Ice cream melting in the heat
Sunlight dancing in my hair
Laughing like I didn’t care
Bikes and chalk on every road
Tiny dreams and heavy clouds
Every day felt twice as long
Life was just a happy song

[Pre-Chorus]
No worries, no goodbyes
Just endless blue July skies

[Chorus]
It was the summer of 2016
When the world was big and I was small
Every sunset felt like magic
Like I could have it all
Running wild and feeling free
Every moment felt like gold
I wish I could go back again
To that summer six years old

[Verse 2]
Sprinklers shining in the yard
Staying up till it got dark
Fireflies and bedtime lies
Counting stars across the sky
Windows open, music loud
Dancing silly, spinning round
Every laugh was pure and bright
Every dream could take its flight

[Pre-Chorus]
No broken hearts, no fears to hide
Just summer days and endless light

[Chorus]
It was the summer of 2016
When the world was big and I was small
Every sunset felt like magic
Like I could have it all
Running wild and feeling free
Every moment felt like gold
I wish I could go back again
To that summer six years old

[Verse 3]
Now I’m older, time moved on
But those days are never gone
In my heart they always stay
Like sunshine that won’t fade away
If I close my eyes tonight
I can see that golden light
Hear my younger laughter sing
Feel the joy of everything

[Pre-Chorus]
Memories never fade away
They live inside the songs we play

[Chorus]
It was the summer of 2016
When the world was big and I was small
Every sunset felt like magic
Like I could have it all
Running wild and feeling free
Every moment felt like gold
I wish I could go back again
To that summer six years old
