Last Summer Breeze
Lyrics By: Peg Atwood
Music By: Michael L Prather (mlprat)
With her I felt life begin, again
safe in the warmth of her summer wind.
Tasting salt mist on her tender lips....
her sweet kisses caress my face.
I breathe her perfume in me still,
with the coming of a winter's chill
My comfort now, I prepare to live
I feel time telling me to race.
chorus:
She came softly,
a last warm summer breeze
arriving gently in the autumn of my years
taking me calling me, daring me to put away all my fears.
Come play with me, she whispered on the wind.
I'd long since put away my dreams
of crisp white sails drifitng endlessly
listening to the sound of the sea
playing carefree on soft white sand
One last chance for a sweet surprise
A taste of berries, champagne on ice
waking senses and memories
Revealing who I am...
chorus: She came softly,
a last warm summer breeze
arriving gently in the autumn of my years
taking me calling me, daring me to put away all my fears.
Come play with me, she whispered on the wind.
Long days of freedom and sweet smiles
Leading to dance and music all the while
Drifting endlessly into the night
waves gently rocking us to sleep.
The last warm breeze is sweetest still
Lasting long after winter's chill
my dreams will be forever filled
She lives in my memory.
lift: Winter come as you will
wrapping me in your distant chill
I'll remain contented still
long after summer ends.
chorus:
She came softly, a last warm summer breeze
arriving gently in the autumn of my years
taking me calling me, daring me
to put away all my fears.
Come play with me, she whispered on the wind.
