about

This is a sweet little song about first friends. My daughters came with me to the studio and sang on the bridge :)

lyrics

When will I see you again?
You were climbing up over the fence
we moved in, you wrote hello in chalk
the summer was just starting off

We gathered bugs in a jar
we rode on our bikes like race cars
and at night we slept out on the porch
the moon lit the sky like a torch

we swung as high as the sky
we touched the moon with our hands
two bright little stars
the whole wide world was ours
but we still had to be home by dark

Summer would end fast as it came
our school friends would show us new games
still you're there, you're my other bookend
a thread forever woven in

We drew the roads on the map
the space where our hearts overlapped
we were queens of the hood
ruling the back yard and the woods
we were both ten and life was good

we swung as high as the sky
we touched the moon with our hands
two bright little stars
the whole wide world was ours
but we still had to be home by dark
