Ava Iris - Summer Lyrics

The air was warm and the days stretched long
In came Summer like a sweet familiar song
She was fleeting she was bright and she was free
But just like the season she'd always leave me

She walked in like a sunrise golden and bold
With laughter and stories that never grew old
Her touch was like sunshine it lingered on my skin
But I knew from the start she wouldn't stay within

Oh Summer why do you always run
You leave when the autumn has just begun
But every moment with you feels like forever
I wish I could hold you and we'd never sever

But Summer you're just a season passing by
A moment in time like the blink of an eye
You fill my days with warmth and light
Then fade away into the night
Oh Summer why can't you stay
Why do you always slip away

She danced in the rain kissed under the moon
But I knew she'd be gone far too soon
Like the breeze in July she'd drift with the wind
Leaving only memories where love had been

Oh Summer you melt like the heat
Gone with the morning leaving no retreat
But the trace of your touch lingers in the air
Even when you're gone I feel you everywhere

But Summer you're just a season passing by
A moment in time like the blink of an eye
You fill my days with warmth and light
Then fade away into the night
Oh Summer why can't you stay
Why do you always slip away

And I know the fall will come
With its colder breeze and setting sun
But even as the leaves start to fall
I'll hold onto the moments when you were my all

But Summer you're just a season passing by
A moment in time like the blink of an eye
You fill my days with warmth and light
Then fade away into the night
Oh Summer why can't you stay
Why do you always slip away

Oh Summer
You'll always slip away
