Sand on my feet, sun in my face
Kissed by summer's sweet embrace
Recollections grow tall
and wide at their waists
and the time, it flew by
my oh my how it flew by
I watched contentment
Wilt and waste into aftertaste
I hope you know, I really hope you know
After all this time, I still hear you sing
I still hear you...
Keep reminiscing, but don't let it sting
I want you to sing like there's nobody listening
and the sun that you're dodging, step out of the shade
you'll surely play like there's nobody watching
And the sound that you're making, if it's kind to your ears
there's no need to fear what another is thinking
I want you to live like the river, a true selfless giver
and when options seem endless,
you go ahead let love fill your heart
No that I'm old, at least no longer young
I give a kiss bye to a childhood of fun
no lack of comfort
for a lost soul with a heart full of none
but my ship presses on, slowly and strong
against frozen water and a heavy load of song
an awkward fate, a sunk ship in this tiny pond
