Verse 1 Morning light through the curtains thin, Coffee steam and your lazy grin. We watched the boats drift slow and wide, Shadows dancing on the water’s side. Chorus By the lake in July, the air so clear, Every word you spoke felt warm, felt near. We stayed till the day turned soft and blue, Not knowing how fast a summer can move. Verse 2 Afternoon walks down the shaded street, Ice cream melting in the evening heat. Your hand in mine, just a gentle fit, Like the world was quiet, and we both knew it. Chorus By the lake in July, the air so clear, Every word you spoke felt warm, felt near. We stayed till the day turned soft and blue, Not knowing how fast a summer can move. Bridge Now autumn comes, and the nights feel long, But I still hear that summer song. I’ll close my eyes and I’m there again, By the lake, with the wind, with the one I knew then.
