I don't drink as much as I ought to
Lately it just ain't my style
The hard times don't hurt like they used to
They pass quicker like when I was a child
Somehow I've learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
Solo
The midsummer days ain't so heavy
They just flow like the breeze all the time
When nothing appears in a hurry
To make up for some old lost time
Somehow I learned how to listen
For a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the life I have found
It keeps my feet on the ground
Somehow I learned to how to listen
To a sound like the sun going down
In the magic that morning is bringing
There's a song for the friend I have found
She keeps my feet on the ground
