A Walk In the Rain
Store some precious memories in your pocket
and take a walk in the rain
Stick your tongue out to catch the raindrops
pretend your a kid once again
Sing along with the chirping sparrows
as you merrylee skip along
Try to remember friends you shared time with
and your Father's hands so big and strong
Imagine your Mother's soothing words
as she sent you off to school
Think of your first infatuation and crush
and how you acted like such a fool
The child in us may pass with time
but is always close at hand
If you will only take the time to remember
the memories are yours to command
So take a trip back to simpler times
when it seemed that summer days would never end
Your childhood memories will travel with you
on that you can depend
