Summerland Lyrics

I remember the sun tea jar glowing

In the summer sun like amber

And the fresh, cold taste of the water from the hose out back every summer

I remember the fragrance comin' through

The windows from the backyard peonies

And the heavenly scent of the lilac tree

As it battled for the attention of the bumblebees

Summer saved you, summer saved me

Summer saved all of us, that was our decree

Summer saved you, summer saved me

Summer saved all of us, it was our reprieve

I remember the memory

Of cherry popsicles in the shade of the acorn tree

And the homemade peach ice cream that your mom made with her new ice cream machine

I remember the feeling of the emerald blades beneath my feet in the field

With kites soaring in the strong winds against the sapphire sky

They were my sword and shield

Those glorious days

Took me away

Cotton candy clouds painted the sky

I hope, I hope that's what Summerland is like

I loved how the fireflies danced in the moonlight as it blanketed everything

And I loved the song of the chorus of crickets in the darkness teaching me how to sing

I remember the sun tea jar glowing in the summer sun like amber
