Lyrics

Summer Day ©
Seems that I’ll be staring down that road
For the rest of my life
I guess I was always watching you leave
A day at a time
And as the moon begins to rise
I strain my eyes in the fading daylight
Trying desperately to see your face
Just one last time

And I don’t know why it had to be this way
But she is gone like the sun at the end of a summer day

Fields of green and gold and the sweet light
Of stars being born above
Offer me no comfort the way they did
When I was with you my love
The shadows grow ever longer
Stretching from the trees to cast upon my very soul
Gently crushing out the fire
Leaving me afraid and cold

And I don’t know why it had to be this way
But she is gone like the sun at the end of a summer day

Now I try to smile when I think of you
As a bird flying high and free
But when the sickness took you
Away from me
I felt for sure that my life
Was at an end
I was not just losing my lover
I was losing my best friend

And I don’t know why it had to be this way
But she is gone like the sun at the end of a summer day

Here beside this church I go down to one knee
And a sweet voice enters my ears, and I find peace.
