We had sandwiches and apple juice On that sweet afternoon in the summer And you only wanted me to play You had no time to waste in the summer So you only ate half I had to laugh There will always be time for scolding You're only getting older
So I'm holding my tongue Keeping my peace It runs deep and wide And I'm wading right in Playing your games And I'm running the full length of summer By your side
Making funny mirror faces I caught you looking at me Looking at your hair But you don't care It's only there for me to measure
How short the days are long How fast the days of slow go away So I'm wading right in Playing your games And I'm running the full length of summer By your side
