I remember golden days

When we would only say a word

You would laugh out loud

I remember better times

Family friends and backyard fights

The golden nights with you

I'm trying to finally say goodbye to you

I'm trying to keep these thoughts in line

So i can keep them close to you

I remember mother's arms

They'd keep us safe controlled and warm

Against the world

Where every single blade of grass

Would make us lie and laugh

And set the summer sun

I'm trying to keep that little light inside

I'm trying to keep that little light inside

This truthful youth in me
