Hey July

Hey July
Light up those fireworks in the sky
Why do you have to pass so quickly by?

No pretenses
Your lavender fills up my senses
Hear their shouts of joy beyond the fences

And maybe it's just another summer anthem
But I'm still haunted by the phantoms
Of daylights of years past
It never lasts, never lasts
Kiss me tender with your warm sunshine
A melody that I can make all mine
Before it becomes the past
Cause it never lasts, never lasts

Hey July
Before you speak, I gotta ask why
Your sunsets cast on the lake make me cry?

I get older
And with that I'm a little bit bolder
At least it's better than those times I folded

And maybe it's just another summer anthem
But I'm still haunted by the phantoms
Of daylights of years past
It never lasts, never lasts
Paint me a portrait of your galaxy
A midnight secret for you and me
Before it becomes the past
Cause it never lasts, never lasts

Hey July
Hey July

Hey July
I really don't wanna say goodbye
But August is rolling in with spirits high

But next year
Count on it, you know I'll be here
Embracing your firey heart and your cheer

And maybe it's just another summer anthem
But I'm still haunted by the phantoms
Of daylights of years past
It never lasts, never lasts
A perfect capture of God's creation
Walked by nation after nation
Future and the past
And that will last, that will last

Hey July
Light up those fireworks in the sky
Why do you have to pass so quickly by?
