SUMMER LOVING By Steven Godfrey I can hear the birds singing , the buzzing of the bees The wind gently moves the branches , providing a welcome breeze The sun is out ,it's overhead and giving of good heat Summertime for many people simply cannot be beat Other people prefer the cooler weather , some even like the rain As long as I'm not uncomfortable ,you won't hear me complain Summer when I was young , was full of things to do Outdoors all day long the days really just flew Everyone's door wide open , Windows would never close Out with the paddling pool , someone fetch the hose Fill it up with warm water , that went cold pretty quick No one really cared , that is how we got a kick Yes, times were different when I was younger, especially in the sun So much youthful energy , that you just had to burn As we get older , and those days seem so far away Oh to be a kid again ," mum I'm away out to play "
