Old Porch, Fading Summer

Lyrics

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Verse 1]
Sun dips low, paintin' skies in gold and rose
Another summer day, gently to a close
On this old porch swing, worn by years and rain
An old grandparent sits, whisperin' a name
Leaves on the maple, turnin' just a shade
Memories like fireflies, startin' now to fade

[Chorus]
Oh, the fading echoes of summer laughter
August's last soft breath, chase 'em ever after
On this quiet porch, where the shadows grow long
Listen to the breeze, hummin' its last song
A bittersweet goodbye to the sunlit days
Lost in contemplation, in a golden haze

[Verse 2]
Little feet once ran, where the tall grass swayed
Picnics by the creek, beneath the old oak's shade
Stories told by moonlight, under a million stars
Healin' every worry, mendin' every scar
Now the silence gathers, as the crickets call
Holdin' to those moments, lest they slip and fall

[Chorus]
Oh, the fading echoes of summer laughter
August's last soft breath, chase 'em ever after
On this quiet porch, where the shadows grow long
Listen to the breeze, hummin' its last song
A bittersweet goodbye to the sunlit days
Lost in contemplation, in a golden haze

[Bridge]
Time's a river runnin', never lookin' back
Leaves us with these treasures, on a winding track
Every chuckle, every smile, every joyful sound
On this hallowed ground, forever they are found

[Chorus]
Oh, the fading echoes of summer laughter
August's last soft breath, chase 'em ever after
On this quiet porch, where the shadows grow long
Listen to the breeze, hummin' its last song
A bittersweet goodbye to the sunlit days
Lost in contemplation, in a golden haze

[Outro]
Yeah, in a golden haze, as August meets its end
A silent prayer for summer, my oldest, dearest friend.
