Written and first performed for my youngest brother on his 14 birthday as a gift.
lyrics
V1).
Fly in the water, drink of the sky
Breathe in the clouds that live up so high
Dreams are for dreamers but we’re not asleep
Why don’t we listen to a summer story
CH)
Summer tales, summer tales!
Won’t you come buy my stories for sale?
Summer tales, summer tales!
Won’t you come buy my story book wares?
V2)
What would you wish for as wild as it seems?
Where are the fancies of every child’s dreams?
Would you caress them, or from them depart?
Or cherish them always bound tight to your heart?
CH)
Summer tales, summer tales!
Won’t you come buy my stories for sale?
Summer tales, summer tales!
Won’t you come buy my story book wares?
V3)
Won’t cost you a penny, won’t cost you a dime
All it will cost is a moment of time
My wares aren’t expensive, in fact they are free!
So come gather ‘round for a summer story!
CH)
Summer tales, summer tales!
Won’t you come buy my stories for sale?
Summer tales, summer tales!
Won’t you come buy my story book wares?
