A flash of pink in a sunbeam bright A joyful dancer, a pure delight With clumsy steps on tippy-toes A melody of giggles grows And it's the sweetest sound I've ever found It turns my whole world right way around. Oh, my little summer child With a spirit running wild Your smile is sunshine, pure and true A summer sky of brilliant blue I hope you always dance in the rain And find your way through joy and pain My perfect, little hurricane. With crayon dreams on a paper stage, She writes the rules on every page. She tells her dolls with a gentle hand, The stories that she understands. With straw-gold hair and eyes of stormy grey, Just like the clouds on a windy day. But no matter the path you choose to run, My darling, my life, my little one, Remember this love, so fierce and true, Will always be a home for you. I'll be the ground beneath your feet, Whenever life feels bittersweet. Oh, my little summer child With a spirit running wild Your smile is sunshine, pure and true A summer sky of brilliant blue I hope you always dance in the rain And find your way through joy and pain My perfect, little hurricane. Your crayon masterpieces on the floor, A paper crown by the dollhouse door. The day is done, the moon is new, My dream come true is holding youβ¦.
