the house hasn't changed over all the years but it's been awhile since I've seen the sky this blue the grass just as green cute and so blond in our bathing suits on a late-summer lawn he'd walk to the garage and the sprinkler went on and we'd skip and we'd run and we'd jump here and we'd leap-frog and spin and he'd smile while we'd sing at the pump here until mom called us back in gran steps outside with a walking stick she has sure gotten old we'll remember her from that time before he turned cold and we'd skip and we'd run and we'd jump here and we'd leap-frog and spin and he'd smile while we'd sing at the pump here until mom called us in and so life goes on and on the girls in the grass feel just as at home one dares me with these big blue eyes so I chase her around and throw her up to the sky
