lyrics

Boy meets girl, a story told one million times and one

But no one story is the same

His heart he poured and then some more

His father smiled and said

‘Surely love will make its way’



On a cloudless night they laid outside to witness summers kiss

From soft brown eyes he heard her say

‘Love, it won’t be long till summers gone and I have to go again.

Send me your kisses in the wind’



Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you

I swear that falling never felt so sweet

And I know in not too long you’ll be gone with summers passed

And I, with a lifetime left to dream



He married her one April morn in a small town gathering

That dress of white near made him cry

That night he swore his world was hers and kissed her tenderly

Hand in hand they said their vows



Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you

I swear that falling never felt so sweet

And I thought with not too long, you’d be gone with summers passed

But now, here you’re standing next to me



The nurse walked through with blankets blue and a sadness in her eye

Said ‘Son, your boy is fine but I’m afraid

Well, your wife, she took a turn and sadly now, she has moved on

Life is sometimes hard and seldom fair’



‘Amen’ he said He bowed his head ‘Some given and some gone

With heavens ways you don’t ask why’

But as the crowd disperse a warm wind blows and whispers tenderly

‘Lover feel my kisses from the skies’



Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you

I swear that falling never felt so sweet

And I knew with not too long you’d be gone with summers passed

And I, with a lifetime left to dream

Oh there’s something in the air that comes alive when I’m with you

I swear that falling never felt so sweet

And I knew with not too long you’d be gone with summers passed

Oh and I, with a lifetime left to dream
