When Days Were Long

Fun to be part of the WXPN Songwriting Challenge - always have appreciated WXPN's suppport for live local original music. Here is my submission - lyrics below:
When Days Were Long
Riding bikes, wind in our hair;
We’d pedal hard, goin’ nowhere
Puddle jumps and toy guns
Endless days of endless sun
Aint it nice until its gone
I wish the days were still that long
Summer storms and fireflies,
They lit our dreams, through the night
Holding hands, we’d jump in
We’d brave the cold in the deep end
Aint it nice until its gone
I wish the days were still that long
We know the summertime wont last
The days, so long, but the years ….fly…. past
Worn and tan now from the sun
Almost relieved that season's done
We’re building fires, we’re making plans
For the winter now is close at hand
Aint it nice until its gone
I wish the days were still that long

Oh my not-so-red-stater & Appalachian-born guitar-playing wife ought to meet you. She’s seen you play in Philly at Megan & Peter’s. Great stuff!

I remember you guys - hope to see you again when I'm back hanging out with M&P!!

Your voice sounds beautiful! Great song. You were missed at Cover Me Saturday. I only had a couple hours to do this because of Cover Me and playing at church Sunday. Barely made it😂

@@LoriCitro thx much my friend. yes I missed being there - i was planning to do so (in March, before the reschedule) but then because of other commitments and a festival this weekend could not come back to Philly for this (and agreed, hard to find the time to do this challenge with all the rest of 'life' happening!)
