The Last Days Of Summer - Gino Vannelli[00:00:00]
The trees are full and green[00:00:37]
The garden sweet and lush[00:00:51]
The warmth of the sun belies September[00:01:00]
A truth to which I must surrender[00:01:08]
The hours are numbered[00:01:16]
These last days of summer[00:01:22]
Her sundress pink and white[00:01:38]
An orchid in her hair[00:01:44]
As lovely a sight as ever to me[00:01:50]
Were I a stranger would she woo me[00:01:58]
I can't help but wonder[00:02:07]
These last days of summer[00:02:13]
Thinking the unthinkable[00:02:23]
Chased with lemon tea[00:02:27]
Thoughts that never crossed my mind[00:02:32]
When I was twenty-three[00:02:37]
Too busy being me[00:02:41]
A ship once hailed unsinkable[00:02:47]
Is floundering in the deep[00:02:51]
A boy who once prayed to his God[00:02:57]
For his soul to keep[00:03:02]
Would settle for a good night’s sleep[00:03:10]
My father warned of the waning years[00:03:20]
What every man goes through[00:03:26]
I thought him weak and too fraught with fear[00:03:33]
To see his tragic point of view[00:03:37]
It's a sad cliché[00:03:45]
But ever since he's passed away[00:03:48]
He's ever more present to me[00:03:51]
Looking past my prime[00:03:56]
Waging war on Father Time[00:03:59]
Dad I think I understand finally[00:04:02]
Strange that my eyes should gain more sight[00:04:28]
As the days begin to lose the light[00:04:34]
Winter looms on my horizon[00:04:42]
Look at me in my summer wear[00:04:48]
Completely unprepared[00:04:54]
We wrestle in the grass[00:05:06]
He's grown so tall so quick[00:05:13]
I struggle to get the better of him[00:05:19]
Just how much I truly love him[00:05:27]
This I've discovered[00:05:36]
These last days of summer[00:05:42]
Just how much I truly love them[00:05:55]
These last days of summer[00:06:09]
