Duke - Summer lyrics

See me
Standing on the other side
Living
With little more than my pride
Don’t need to question who I’ll be
My future or my memory
‘Cause I’ve climbed the mountains of my life

Springtime
Mistakes help the wise man grow
And my life has had many winding roads
Don’t need no one to carry me
Or to tell me who I need to be
‘Cause I’ll face what others need to hide
Reflecting on days gone by

You are the summer of my life
The leaves are turning beautiful
But they’re dying anyway
And you are the summer of my life
What we had seemed so long ago and so far away

I stood by my father in his final days
And wondered how it would feel to take his place
Reflecting on days gone by

As the sun sets on the summer of my life
It’s hard to believe all the things I’ve seen
And I go stronger as the days go by

You are the summer of my life
The leaves are turning beautiful
But they’re dying anyway
And you are the summer of my life
What we had seemed so long ago and so far away

You are the summer of my life
And you are the summer of my life
