Delaney and Jessica lived down the lane Played in the puddles and danced in the rain Run to the gate, see the train going by A hot air balloon, floating down through the sky Hang out the washing to sail in the breeze Sweet summer dresses and blue dungarees Skateboards and bicycles ride up and down A boat on the river, a stroll into town Far in the future when childhood is done All of their summers will blend into one Far in the future when childhood is done All of their summers will blend into one Picnics and parasols, midsummer dream Cucumber sandwiches, strawberries, and cream Brother and sister and games of pretend Wish that these long summer days never end Heavenly magician, the sun casts its spell Time is suspended and all is well Twilight descends on the beautiful day Sleepyheads drifting away
