Cottonwood Lyrics

Cottonwood floats like snow

In the summertime

Fills a lake of memories

Sunshine for my mind

Smell of burning marshmallows

By a campfire as it glows

Make a wish...make a wish

There’s a shooting star

That world was amazing

We didn’t know how good it was then

Talking until the sun came up again

Beautiful nights I remember

Those fireflies

Dancing through the willow trees

Twinkling like your eyes

Illuminating oh so bright

Sunset paints a perfect sky

That was yours…that was yours and mine

Take me back just one more time

To share a laugh and a bottle of cheap wine

We’ll watch the stars collide

Then fall to the ground

Just like cottonwood coming down

You were always there to be

My partner in crime

The distance in between us

Makes it hard to go on trial

That world was amazing

We didn’t know how good it was then

Talking until the sun came up

Never a moment of hesitation

Open eyes we’d dive right in

Setting fires

Till the sun came up again
