Summer Days Letra

53 years is a long time for one man to wait

and my mama got married again last year
and she's swearing that this is the one
who am i to tell her that she's wrong?
but she wanted a wedding and flowers, and that's what she got

summer days are really the ones to blame
they make us think that these feelings will last
'til we're old and grey
summer days are really the ones to blame
and it doesn't matter if it doesn't last
at least it was better than being alone

and i think that i might get married one day
but i still don't know who'll be the one
but i know that she won't be like anything i've ever seen before
and if that's not the case then, oh well, i guess that's what divorce is for
but i think that i'd like to be right the first time around

summer days are really the ones to blame
they make us think that these feelings will last
'til we're old and grey
summer days are really the ones to blame
and it doesn't matter if it doesn't last
at least it was better than being alone

well, my daddy got married again last year
and i think that this will be the one
28 years since the day when he first got engaged
53 years is a long time for one man to wait
and he wishes he'd gotten it right the first time around
