I wake up on a summer morning,
To the smell of honeysuckle vines,
It brings the memories flooding,
From the secret corners of my mind.
I pour a steaming cup of coffee,
And take a walk around the place,
Thinking of loved ones gone before me,
Wishing I could see my sons face.
The smells and sounds of summer,
Are everywhere it seems,
They help me to remember,
And are part of my summer dreams.
I wake up on a summer morning,
To the smell of honeysuckle vines,
It brings the memories flooding ore me,
From the secret corners of my mind.
I see the morning doves a feeding,
Hear their soft and gentle coos.
The scarlet Rose of Sharon,
Covered with drops of morning dew.
I hear the sounds of hay a baleing,
And smell fresh peaches in my bowl,
Memories come flooding ore me,
And somehow soothe my soul.
