Lemon Light

You came around in your cotton tee Sunshine dripping off your cheek Eyes that held the morning bright You lit the room in lemon light We chased the waves down to the shore Barefoot laughs, I wanted more Salt and citrus on your lips The way you smiled made my heart skip Every moment, fresh and wild Like postcards from a summer child Lemon light, you sweet surprise Golden love beneath July skies Sharp like truth, but soft and slow Like how the breezes tend to blow You were mine, just for a night Underneath that lemon light Maybe we were meant to fade Like yellow blooms in the heatwave But I’ll still taste you in the sun When all the summer songs are done Lemon light, my fleeting flame Nothing ever felt the same Bright and burning, pure delight You were gone before the night But in my heart, you’re shining bright Forever in that lemon light
