Bill Anderson - Summer Sun lyrics

On the last day of Christmas

I start thinking about the summer, son

The beauty of the roses, the sweet song of the robin

The warmth of the yellow summer sun.

And the two of us together running through the meadow

Laughing making mem'ries having fun

It's a long way back to winter

And the plane that came from Denver.

Bringin' you to spend the summer son

With your daddy, to spent the summer son

This year we're gonna catch that big ole fish

We saw swimming through the stream.

We'll fly your kite and ride your bike

Maybe camp out overnight

And I'll take you to a Big League baseball game

And hopefully we'll have some time

To talk about what's on your mind

And maybe I can even help you some.

For I was once a boy your age

And you're goin' through that special stage

Where you need your dad a lot this summer, son

And I'll be there just like the summer sun.

Like so many single fathers

I live just to see the summer sun

Just being with my little man helpin' you to understand

Who you are and what you can become.

Broken homes aren't easy

But think about it this way

You've got two homes

Where you've loved instead of one

So be a good boy, don't you cry

And tell your mama, I said hi.

I can't hardly wait for the summer, son

Oh, it's gonna be a wonderful summer, son...
