Lyrics
Summer breeze caress so gently,
Soft and warm as a baby's sigh.
Smells like rain, feels like summer,
I hear goodbyes in the distant thunder.
It's hard to let go, it's harder to hold on,
Fearing what's ahead, longing for what is gone.
Like a fly in amber, captured in time.
My life's an open door.
People come and people go.
I see starlight in your eyes.
In your arms I'm home.
Yesterday, seemed so timeless, tomorrow just a promise to come.
It's come and gone now, we've learned to mind less,
The bumps in the road, the songs left unsung.
My life's an open door.
People come and people go.
I see starlight in your eyes.
In your arms I'm home.
