to match my blue dress
I cut my hair short
that summer afternoon
so very clear

with a camera
taking photos of nothing
but your silly poses
on that summer afternoon
so very clear

but the seasons have turned
and a heart simply changes
I remember
those days
but somethings been lost today too
in the overflowing light
I loved you
on that summer day

I cut my hair too short
and so you kissed it
on that summer afternoon
so very clear
for a whole day like today

but the seasons have turned
and a heart simply changes
I remember
those days
but somethings been lost today too
in the overflowing light
I loved you
on that summer day
the two of us

to match my blue dress
you gave me flowers
that summer afternoon
so very clear
for a whole day like today
