As Summer Slips Away
(c)2005, David Van Camp
I like walking on a sunny day
to hear the laughter as the children play
I like the things they do
I like the things they say
as summer slips away
I like kissing in the pouring rain
I like to feel you with no coat in the way
I like the things you do
I like the things you say
as summer slips away
And oh! fireworks in July!
Oh, oh, oh, as you hold me tight
with you by my side
every night
you make everything just seem so right
I like to bring you your breakfast in bed
I like your smile as you eat your eggs
I like the things you do
I like the things you say
as summer slips away
But when November comes around
I’ll go to the attic, bring our sweaters down
And we’ll snuggle up as close tp the fireside
But, oh! Those hot August nights!
Oh, oh, oh, when you turn out the lights
and lay by my side
and kiss me goodnight
you make everything just seem so right
I like the colors when the red sun sets
and like, when I’m with you, how nervous I get
I like the things you do
I like the things you say
as summer slips away
it’s slipping away
slip, slipping away
it's slipping away
