Watching Clouds

How can we feel young again?
We can do it if we try…
On our backs on summer days
Watching clouds go drifting by

Unaware of passing time
The hours just like minutes fly
On our backs on summer days
Watching clouds go drifting by

Problems seem to fade away…
Vanish into azure sky
On our backs on summer days
Watching clouds go drifting by

Feel the sunlight on our skin
Hear the gentle breezes sigh
On our backs on summer days
Watching clouds go drifting by

Mesmerized by birds in flight
Wishing we could soar up high
On our backs on summer days
Watching clouds go drifting by

Blue’s the ocean overhead
Green’s the grass on which we lie
On our backs on summer days
Watching clouds go drifting by

How can we feel young again?
Nature gives us her reply…
On our backs on summer days
Watching clouds go drifting by
