Summer Breeze

One summertime, when I was nine, 
I climbed the mountains of the Swiss Alpine.
I screamed an echo out to all the land,
While I safely held my father’s hand.

The summer breeze it swept with ease,
It moved between my hair and knees.
How I felt free, so free and wild,
That summer spent as a little child.

I picked the daisies in the meadows.
Ran through shrubs, my heart just mellowed.
I fell asleep in the warm embrace,
Of the moving wind across my face.

The summer breeze it swept with ease,
It moved between my hair and knees.
How I felt free, so free and wild,
That summer spent as a little child.

Soared with Golden eagle’s way up high.
Had quite the imagination on my mind.
I Spent every moment that I could,
Taking in the surrounding mountain woods.

The summer breeze it swept with ease,
It moved between my hair and knees.
How I felt free, so free and wild,
That summer spent as a little child.

To this day, I hold so tight,
Those memories I made for life.
For when I left, to return back home,
I left a piece of me, it remained alone.

The summer breeze it swept with ease,
It moved between my hair and knees.
How I felt free, so free and wild,
That summer spent as a little child.
