SWEET SUMMERTIME
©Copyright 2003 Rodney Dakita Garcia

I thought I saw the summer dancing on the frozen lake
Yesterday
She snapped a twig off from a tree and offered it to me
Went on her way
I never knew her name
I only know she came

When the winter overstayed
While summer breezes filled my mind
And I remembered seaside songs
That I set free once upon a time
She brought them back to me
And made me want to see

Oh summer girl
Be the one
Bring your smile
Be the sun
Summer girl
Be the breeze
Bring your whisper
To the trees,
Summer girl.

Now in fading afternoons
I strum until the moon comes into sight
I hum the star-bright night away
Until the dawn breaks into day
I see the light
Though she’s not here with me
And summer finds me free
I’ll search again
Until I find
Sweet summertime.
