When the grass was green
And the birds would sing
Laying in my father's arms as time flew by
Reaching every dream
Cause it didn't seem
That days would keep on rolling and pass me by
Why is it so hard to let go
Why is it lonely when you're not alone
Why is it days like this that always bring me back
To blue skies and rides on a piggy back
Life was wondering
And the winds would sing
As mother helped to wipe my tears dry
Sunshine on my face
On the brightest day
Dancing with the memories of July
Why is it so hard to let go
Why is it lonely when you're not alone
Why is it days like this that always bring me back
To blue skies and rides on a piggy back
Open arms still love me
Days keep getting longer everyday
I have this feeling
Time keeps moving on anyway
I keep the memories
When days came easily
And mom and dad will love me with all their hearts
In the mystery
Of who I'm gonna be
I know that I will always have open arms
Why is it so hard to not know
Why is the hardest love the ones you don't let go
Why is it days like this that always bring me back
To blue skies and rides on a piggy back
Blue skies and rides on a piggy back
Blue skies and rides on a piggy back
