Dear July Lyrics

Dear July

You're gonna make me cry

When August comes and leaves you out to dry

Oh, won't you say

It'll be okay?

Oh, what a lie

From my July

Dear July

It's hard to say goodbye

So hold me close and sing a lullaby

Oh, won't you stay

Just one more day?

I'll tell you why

Oh, my July

I'll miss your fireflies and crackers on the Fourth

And although August has your heat

It may never match your warmth

You keep me young, you make me new

You're making all my dreams come true

Oh, what a shame July, you finally have to go

Dear July

I just can't even try

To lift my chin and look you in the eye

We used to play

Through night and day

But those days die

With you, July

I'll miss the face that looked into your starry spread

It picked out every constellation

Full of life, and love unsaid

You keep me young, you make me new

You're making all my dreams come true

Oh, what a shame July, you finally have to go

Dear July

I wish that I could fly

And I'd chase the sun right 'round that summer sky

Cause I'm not ready yet

For it so soon to set

I love you so

July, my love, don't go
