Summer Breeze

See the pictures lined up on the table
     At the family home inside the door
See the meal laid out across the table
     After church for dinner and more

Summer breeze brings you to mind
     Stirs memories I have left behind
Summer breeze brings you to mind
     Stirs memories I have left behind

Hear the soft voices as food is served
     Sounds forgotten are good to hear
Seems like it all was only yesterday 
     Your lilting laugh music to my ears

Summer breeze brings you to mind
     Stirs memories I have left behind
Summer breeze brings you to mind
     Stirs memories I have left behind

Long summer moments lasted for days
     Looking at you is like it was back then
Warm gentle kisses in slow dance sways
     My heart wildly begins to spin

I hear laughter echoing through our home
      When I return after being on the road
Our children run to greet me at the door
      Each one I have longed to hold

Summer breeze brings you to mind
     Stirs memories I have left behind
Summer breeze brings you to mind
     Stirs memories I have left behind
