Verse
Red straws in a cup of lemonade
Spinning plates on the kitchen counter where we used to play
Your hair is short now but your smile stays bright
We’re chasing sunshine on this summertime night
The sprinkler dances on our toes and feet
Giggle like a silly kid when nobody’s watching you and me
Pre-Chorus
Is it really summer or just my imagination?
Do the sunbeams play tricks on my reflection?
Can I catch a rainbow in a jar?
Let’s find out! Let’s go far!
Chorus
Sunglasses and sunshine, spinning round we go
Twirling like a daisy in the garden as it grows
Red straws and laughter in the lemonade light
We chase the sunbeams until they turn to gold tonight
Sunglasses and sunshine on our faces bright
Dancing where the butterflies take flight
Verse
Rustic door on the porch creaks open wide
A kite with streamers running, never leaving your side
In a sandbox castle made of sand and stone
We’re writing secret stories all alone
The ice cream truck is coming down the street
Do you think they have your favorite flavor treat?
Every firefly in the yard lights up like a star
Is this the best adventure or just a dream we share
Pre-Chorus
Can I wear two hats like a superhero too?
Can the wind carry me right where I want to go?
Can a sunbeam be my magic wand and bow?
Let’s find out! Let’s follow the rays!
Chorus
Sunglasses and sunshine, spinning round we go
Twirling like a daisy in the garden as it grows
Red straws and laughter in the lemonade light
We chase the sunbeams until they turn to gold tonight
Sunglasses and sunshine on our faces bright
Dancing where the butterflies take flight
Bridge
No more toys or bedtime stories tonight
Just me and you under the stars shining bright
Hold your hand up, catch that ray of gold
Make a wish as we watch it go
Mama said don’t forget this happy time
We’re making memories in our own sweet rhyme
So here’s to sunshine on a lazy day
I love chasing sunbeams with you every way
Chorus
Sunglasses and sunshine, spinning round we go
Twirling like a daisy in the garden as it grows
Red straws and laughter in the lemonade light
We chase the sunbeams until they turn to gold tonight
Sunglasses and sunshine on our faces bright
Dancing where the butterflies take flight
Outro
The sprinkler stops. The day gets dark.
But we know where tomorrow’s sun will start.
Giggle some more, don’t let it go!
This is summer magic we never want to know...
