We had sandwiches and apple juice   On that sweet afternoon in the summer   And you only wanted me to play   You had no time to waste in the summer   So you only ate half   I had to laugh   There will always be time for scolding   You're only getting older       So I'm holding my tongue   Keeping my peace   It runs deep and wide   And I'm wading right in   Playing your games   And I'm running the full length of summer   By your side      Making funny mirror faces   I caught you looking at me    Looking at your hair   But you don't care   It's only there for me to measure      How short the days are long   How fast the days of slow go away   So I'm wading right in   Playing your games   And I'm running the full length of summer   By your side
