[Intro]
A F#m
In the blazing summertime
Bm
when your night is darkest
E
I'll be the fireflies
A F#m
and when August's passed me by
Bm
you'll be the changing colors
E
in my September sky
A F#m
If you go skating in the park
Bm
I'll knit you brand new mittens
E
to keep your fingers warm
A F#m
and when the trees call back their green
Bm
you'll watch me planting flowers
E
beyond the front porch screen
[Interlude]
D A Bm E D F#m E E
A F#m
When the sun forgets her place
Bm
I'll be the aloe vera
E
on your burning face
A F#m
and when the daisies die away
Bm
you'll be the falling leaves
E
beyond my window pane
A F#m
When the frost has chilled our days
Bm
I'll get the patterned quilt
E
that your grandma made
A F#m
and when April brings the rain
Bm
you'll pull me close and hold me
E
until the lighting fades
[Outro]
