Porch Swing

On a porch swing
You lose everything
The sounds of the city fly away

But the warm breeze
The Azaleas and Roses
Aromas of springtime stay

And above me is the window of your old bedroom
And it shines with the memories that you left
And I wrote you a reply to your last letter
It's a song for the summer
And it goes

Don't it all seem so strange?
How is it that time slips away from us
When every morning brings a brand new day for us?
Every morning brings a brand new day

Look above your head, wherever you are
The sky will be there, no matter how far away you are from me

And I have sent my love on wisps of cloud
To shade you when the sun is out
May it let your freckles be.

And like the old song says,
I know someday we'll find a place for us
And it isn't all that far away for us
No, it isn't all that far away

On this old bench
Rocking in the breeze
I know I'm not alone here
Underneath where you climbed the maple tree

Oh, but don't it all seem so strange?
How is it that time slips away from us
When every morning brings a brand new day for us?
Every morning brings a brand new day

And the chimes ring
In the glow of spring
And I send you the Springtime
From the seat of a porch swing
