See me Standing on the other side Living With little more than my pride Don't need to question who I'll be My future or my memory 'Cause I've climbed the mountains of my life Springtime Mistakes help the wise man grow And my life has had many winding roads Don't need no one to carry me Or to tell me who I need to be 'Cause I'll face what others need to hide Reflecting on days gone by You are the summer of my life The leaves are turning beautiful But they're dying anyway And you are the summer of my life What we had seemed so long ago and so far away I stood by my father in his final days And wondered how it would feel to take his place Reflecting on days gone by As the sun sets on the summer of my life It's hard to believe all the things I've seen And I go stronger as the days go by You are the summer of my life The leaves are turning beautiful But they're dying anyway And you are the summer of my life What we had seemed so long ago and so far away You are the summer of my life And you are the summer of my life
