Summer Breeze

See the pictures lined up on the table At the family home inside the door See the meal laid out across the table After church for dinner and more Summer breeze brings you to mind Stirs memories I have left behind Summer breeze brings you to mind Stirs memories I have left behind Hear the soft voices as food is served Sounds forgotten are good to hear Seems like it all was only yesterday Your lilting laugh music to my ears Summer breeze brings you to mind Stirs memories I have left behind Summer breeze brings you to mind Stirs memories I have left behind Long summer moments lasted for days Looking at you is like it was back then Warm gentle kisses in slow dance sways My heart wildly begins to spin I hear laughter echoing through our home When I return after being on the road Our children run to greet me at the door Each one I have longed to hold Summer breeze brings you to mind Stirs memories I have left behind Summer breeze brings you to mind Stirs memories I have left behind August 10, 2018

Thanks Eve! I put this off and then really got into it once I tried. :)

The rhythm and story line perfectly complement the original melody, Susan. I was singing along as I read!

Great song... Summer Wind. And Sinatra. I've just recently started appreciating him and his style. Thanks for reading and commenting.
