Summer is my favorite time of year
Good friends swimming holes and my favorite beer

The cool of the shade the chilled water from the spring
Lying under the old oak tree listening to the Blue Birds sing

Fond memories of summer vacations at the seashore
Memories of the invigorating smell of the salty sea air

The sand between my toes as I dodge the sea turtles on the shore
All good things must come to an end my heart burning for more

Looking forward to next summer I must say
Always looking ahead and planning the next day

Dear God thank you for the Seasons of the year
The memory of each one brings a joyous tear
