Lyrics
Soft summer rain on an old tin roof Dance in my mind like a sweet refrain Pulling me back to the days we knew Heart full of fire, no room for pain We'd swing from the branches by the bend in the creek Laugh until sundown, young hearts wild and free Your hand in mine, under cottonwood trees Chasing tomorrow, no shadows to see Barefoot in meadows, barefoot in meadows Swinging our secrets the river would know Time slipped like water, through fingers so tight Leaving me dreaming of you every night Oh, take me back to those golden hours Where love was simple and the world was ours Nostalgia's calling, sweet as the dawn In my soul, darling, you're never gone Yeah, those days linger, warm and true Pulling my heartstrings right back to you Years rolled away like dust on the trail Lives turned to pages in stories we tell But in quiet moments when stars light the sky I feel you beside me no need to ask why Oh, take me back to those golden hours Where love was simple and the world was ours Nostalgia's calling, sweet as the dawn In my soul, darling, you're never gone Yeah, those days linger, warm and true Pulling my heartstrings right back to you Soft summer rain on an old tin roof Dancing forever in the life we knew Thanks for watching!
