Summer's Gone

by Juliet   Aug 1, 2008


Summer's going away
I want to keep it here with me
I know that's not possible
But it's worth the leap

Memories flooding past
In seconds too quick to see
Like butterflies in the sky
With all reason for living

Like autumn leaves falling down
Face reality when hitting ground

Summer's gone away
I want to bring it here with me
I know that's not possible
But it's worth the leap

Soaring through the sky
Didn't think they see it happen
Didn't think they'd live to see the day
When the moon came into view

It wasn't down on the earth
Through a telescope
In a barren field
Frozen with snow
Looking for some hope

If I could bring that back
That faith, hope, and tears
Maybe I could do the impossible
And bring summer back here

Music Interlude

Time is flying past
Letters glowing on the path
Telling me
Leading me:
Bring summer back

Sun is setting in the sky
Wind slowing down tonight
When the moon rises
I'll look and see
Beg and wonder
Full of misery
How could they do it?
Do it so well?
Yet I fail
With everything
I tried and
Couldn't see
How to bring
Summer back to me

With a glimpse of hope
I can see the sun is rising
I wonder how
And I see His face smiling

The clouds are spreading apart
Letting the world see
The sun is rising
Failure gone
Summer has returned

Time is flying by
Different way this time
Letter's glowing on the path
Still leading me the right way

I'm going to hold on
Never going to let it leave my sight
Memories of this night
Will never leave my mind

I did the impossible
I set summer free to roam
Now it comes and goes
Whenever its time to come home

I sit in a field of snow
Looking up for some hope
Summer's gone away again
But I'm okay, I'm doing fine

I learned to let go
When summer needed to leave home
I was ready to see it goodbye
Watch it fly into the sky

Watched as the sun set
And the moon began to rise
Autumn's coming
And then the snow
Summer's gone
But I'm always home

I wrote this as a song, but since I can't exactly convey to you the tune of the song, you're going to have to bare with me. Please comment. I need to edit this, so expect an edited verison posted soon.
