It was a warm midsummer morning;
I woke early to prepare.
My family and I,
All there,
Some of our friends, too.

We gathered in my uncle's yard
To have a swim or two.
Cooking out and playing games,
Rhyming things with people's names.

In the pool all day i'd be;
Everyone would laugh at me;
My shriveled fingers, my wet hair-
We could have fun anywhere!

In the house and in the alley,
In the park across the street-
I remember how it used to be.

How I miss those summer days,
Laughing, lazy, in the haze.
We'd chase the ice-cream truck all day
(Just for fun when we would play)
Licking ice-cream as we ran;
I think the driver's name was Dan...

Looking back now i remember
All the fun we used to have.
But everyone's gone their separate ways-
No more grand midsummer days...
I wish i could go back in time
To be with my summer-friends

One last time.
