this evening as day
was done
i sat outside
and felt the Sun
slowly fade away
as into the west it did glide

a cool Summer breeze
blew thru the trees
with such ease

June bugs did chatter
with their endless clatter

in the early evening dark
the old dog next door began to bark

soon the stray cat
who has adopted me
quickly jumped upon my knee
i wasn't sure about that

but as i rubbed his soft fur
i heard him gently purr
and all was right
this Summer night

Gordon Lightfoot softly playing his guitar
children playing not too far
the cough of an old car
a first wish upon a star
there in the Summer night
and all was right

a Summer night
the Moonlight
the star's light
and all was right

the smell of fresh cut grass
sensing time slowly pass
slowly into the night
and all was right
this Summer night
