Summer

Atticus


When I awaken from the night 
She's the first sight to reach my eyes 
And when I lay down all sore from flight 
She stays with me all through the night 

She's only human and she cries 
I wipe her softened, tear-stained eyes 
She's never been to heaven,
She don't even think it's there
But she's everything to me 
When life gets hard and I lose my pride 
She's always on my side 
And when words between family fail 
Her love helps me prevail 
She's my everything 

When she laughs, I cry, and she's often wondered why
I smile and sigh, she's my summertime 
And in the winter fires burn, whenever she's around 
And in the darkness, she is light 
Flying high, a burning kite 
And in the scorching heat, she is rain 
Cool me off and ease my pain 
When she cries, I die 
And it's no wonder at all, she's by my side 
She is my only sunshine 
And in the winter fires burn, whenever she's around
