Summer, summer you're my best friend
Let's play in the woods, hang out near the brook and swim again
You are my heaven, you are my world now, just me in this small town
And these are the days when dreams were free
Life was easier,
At least that's what it seems the reach was so far away
I was waiting, waiting, waiting, hmm
Maybe, someday years from now
I'd see all these places beyond the faces of my pen pals
The songs that I sing underneath the street would then come out
My love to create would be able to take me through a living somehow
And these are the days when dreams were free
Life was easier,
At least that's what it seems the reach was so far away
I was waiting, waiting, waiting
And check under every rock for signs of life
Come face the wind as you ride down hill on your bike
Go find a blackberry patch in the fields, pick as much as you like
These are the days when dreams were free
Life was easier,
At least that's what it seems the reach was so far away
I was waiting, waiting, waiting
These are the days when dreams were free
Life was easier,
At least that's what it seems the reach was so far away
I was waiting, waiting, waiting
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
