《The Last Days Of Summer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Last Days Of Summer - Gino Vannelli

[00:00:37] The trees are full and green

[00:00:51] The garden sweet and lush

[00:01:00] The warmth of the sun belies September

[00:01:08] A truth to which I must surrender

[00:01:16] The hours are numbered

[00:01:22] These last days of summer

[00:01:38] Her sundress pink and white

[00:01:44] An orchid in her hair

[00:01:50] As lovely a sight as ever to me

[00:01:58] Were I a stranger would she woo me

[00:02:07] I can't help but wonder

[00:02:13] These last days of summer

[00:02:23] Thinking the unthinkable

[00:02:27] Chased with lemon tea

[00:02:32] Thoughts that never crossed my mind

[00:02:37] When I was twenty-three

[00:02:41] Too busy being me

[00:02:47] A ship once hailed unsinkable

[00:02:51] Is floundering in the deep

[00:02:57] A boy who once prayed to his God

[00:03:02] For his soul to keep

[00:03:10] Would settle for a good night’s sleep

[00:03:20] My father warned of the waning years

[00:03:26] What every man goes through

[00:03:33] I thought him weak and too fraught with fear

[00:03:37] To see his tragic point of view

[00:03:45] It's a sad cliché

[00:03:48] But ever since he's passed away

[00:03:51] He's ever more present to me

[00:03:56] Looking past my prime

[00:03:59] Waging war on Father Time

[00:04:02] Dad I think I understand finally

[00:04:28] Strange that my eyes should gain more sight

[00:04:34] As the days begin to lose the light

[00:04:42] Winter looms on my horizon

[00:04:48] Look at me in my summer wear

[00:04:54] Completely unprepared

[00:05:06] We wrestle in the grass

[00:05:13] He's grown so tall so quick

[00:05:19] I struggle to get the better of him

[00:05:27] Just how much I truly love him

[00:05:36] This I've discovered

[00:05:42] These last days of summer

[00:05:55] Just how much I truly love them

[00:06:09] These last days of summer
