Summerland

I remember the sun tea jar glowing
In the summer sun like amber
And the fresh, cold taste of the water from the hose out back every summer

I remember the fragrance comin' through
The windows from the backyard peonies
And the heavenly scent of the lilac tree
As it battled for the attention of the bumblebees

Summer saved you, summer saved me
Summer saved all of us, that was our decree
Summer saved you, summer saved me
Summer saved all of us, it was our reprieve

I remember the memory
Of cherry popsicles in the shade of the acorn tree
And the homemade peach ice cream that your mom made with her new ice cream machine

I remember the feeling of the emerald blades beneath my feet in the field
With kites soaring in the strong winds against the sapphire sky
They were my sword and shield

Those glorious days
Took me away
Cotton candy clouds painted the sky
I hope, I hope that's what Summerland is like

I loved how the fireflies danced in the moonlight as it blanketed everything
And I loved the song of the chorus of crickets in the darkness teaching me how to sing

I remember the sun tea jar glowing in the summer sun like amber
