Bittersweet Summer

"Bittersweet Summer" —Melanie, 7, Erika, 9 & Natalia, 11

School is coming to an end
And it’s time for summer to begin
School is coming to an end
And it’s time for summer to begin

I’m excited to jump in the pool
And not wake up early anymore
We have the whole day
It’s time to play

Now summer is here
And life is full of cheer
Now summer is here
And life is full of cheer

Family trip to the beach
Blue skies as far as my eyes could reach
Jellyfish washed up
On the shore

School’s been out for a while
But summer is still in style
School’s been out for a while
But summer is still in style

We’re running out of things to do
It’s hard to find things that are new
Waking up early
Is a horror

Summer is coming to an end
And it’s time for school to begin
Summer is coming to an end
And it’s time for school to begin
