The summer's heat can melt away the time
Remembering when you were still a child
When autumn's chill comes, you're no longer mine
I crave the hours that moved so slow and mild
When days were filled with toys and song and play
Remembering when you were still a child
If I could keep the coming months at bay
I'd relive every minute spent with you
When days were filled with toys and song and play
I crave the time when it was just we two
And when you leave to live life on your own
I'll relive every minute spent with you
I beam at how you've blossomed as you've grown
So proud to see the woman you are now
And when you leave to live life on your own
I'll marvel at the seasons past and how
The summer's heat can melt away the time
So proud to see the woman you are now
When autumn's chill comes, you're no longer mine.
