See me   Standing on the other side   Living   With little more than my pride   Don’t need to question who I’ll be   My future or my memory   ‘Cause I’ve climbed the mountains of my life      Springtime   Mistakes help the wise man grow   And my life has had many winding roads   Don’t need no one to carry me   Or to tell me who I need to be   ‘Cause I’ll face what others need to hide   Reflecting on days gone by      You are the summer of my life   The leaves are turning beautiful   But they’re dying anyway   And you are the summer of my life   What we had seemed so long ago and so far away      I stood by my father in his final days   And wondered how it would feel to take his place   Reflecting on days gone by      As the sun sets on the summer of my life   It’s hard to believe all the things I’ve seen   And I go stronger as the days go by      You are the summer of my life   The leaves are turning beautiful   But they’re dying anyway   And you are the summer of my life   What we had seemed so long ago and so far away      You are the summer of my life   And you are the summer of my life
