Yesterday Summers

Summer breeze blows soft and warm Seeping into senses with the sounds All day we played in the sunshine In every memory you are around I long for summers of yesterday When things were easy and carefree I long for summers of yesterday When things were easy and carefree We stayed up late playing silly games No classes, no teachers, no real routine Our parents laughed and socialized more Life back then was happy and serene I long for summers of yesterday When things were easy and carefree I long for summers of yesterday When things were easy and carefree Beyond anything innocence could behold One summer became a secret untold A new family moved next door to you Something wrong, we knew not what to do Our parents whispered in the gardens Grilling slowed and more inside we play Always seemed an adult was in sight . In time the awful story came our way I long for summers of yesterday When things were easy and carefree I long for summers of yesterday When things were easy and carefree August 11, 2018 August 12, 2018 Summer Breeze Lyrics Contest By John Hamilton Fourth Place
