Those Summer Nights
Good music playing in my ear,
Its got me in a mood to write
Nights like this I just lay here and think
Often about those summer nights
I remember every little thing
Just young girls trying to be grown
Thought every guy was 'the one' for us
Sat waiting by the phone
Little bitty bikinis, sitting by the pool
Just wishing a guy would sit right beside us
Because getting the hottie made us 'cool'
Sneaking out way past curfew
There wasn't a rule we didn't break
"Omg, he told me he loved me!!"
Our hearts were so easy to take
Looking back, reminiscing
Smiling at every thought
We never gave up on chasing the fun
Even if we did get caught
A lot has changed throughout the years
From girls we now are women
The bond we have will never be broken
Even tho our lives are completely different
There might be miles between us,
Maybe even right next door
Telling each other painful truths
But that's what friends are for
Tears have dropped on shoulder after shoulder
Wiped away by the same ol' hands
After every heartbreak and all the pain
Together well always stand
There came a time when I had to wake up,
Reality hit me so hard
I knew I could no longer be the kid
I could no longer play that part
Being mommy is my life now
Being a friend falls in right behind it
Ill never regret a moment spent with my girls
They're all memories ill never forget
I know God purposely intertwined our lives
I believe everything happens for a reason
Ill never let go of the sisters He gave me
Til the day that I stop breathing
We've grown into adults now
We'll eventually go our seperate ways
Always going to have each other
Thru all the happiness and the pain
I often go back to those summer nights
Thinking "how stupid could we be?"
But we were just kids out breaking the rules
When life was easy and care free!
