Sweet Summer Child Lyrics

Roses, red and pink

She wonders, if they taste sweet

It's summer, a friendly breeze is

Playing with her hair

White dress, golden in the sunlight

Twinkle in her dark eyes

As they watch her

Playing with her hair

Ah-oh

It was a pretty picture

Sitting in the garden with her

Who would want to change a thing?

I wouldn't change a single thing

Oh-oh-oh

And I remember

Before they tried to change her

Who would want to change a thing?

I wouldn't change a single thing

Sweet summer child

Oh, she's a sweet summer child

Someday she's gonna have to be strong

She's gonna need sweet love songs

Sweet summer child

Oh, she's a sweet summer child

They will make her feel so wrong

But I will sing her sweet love songs, oh-oh

Roses, turning brown

In harsh wind, leaves on the ground

Her pockets, fill with petals

I'll take her away

White dress, drenched in rain

Once golden, it's sullen gray

Now they smile, to see her pain

I'll take her away

Ah-oh

It was a pretty picture

Sitting in the garden with her

Who would want to change a thing?

I wouldn't change a single thing

Oh-oh-oh

And I still miss her

Before they tried to change her

Who would want to change a thing?

I wouldn't change a single thing

Sweet summer child

Oh, she's a sweet summer child

She's gonna get hurt to get strong

That's why she needs sweet love songs

Sweet summer child

Oh, she's a sweet summer child

They will make her feel so wrong

But I will sing her sweet love songs, oh-oh

But I must confess

Her roses and her white dress

Were mine, were mine, were mine

And the breeze in her hair

Follows me everywhere

It's mine, it's mine, it's mine, oh

'Cause once upon a time I was a

Sweet summer child

I was a sweet summer child

Eventually I grew strong

Though no one sang me sweet love songs

Sweet summer child

I was a sweet summer child

They really made me feel so wrong

But I'm still singing sweet love songs

Yeah, I'm still singing sweet love songs, oh-oh
