Summer Afterglow

Every Dream I Had

Summer came and painted everything in gold,

Longer days, but nights I didn't want to hold.

There was something in the evening air,

A distant feeling waiting somewhere.

I kept the moments no one knew,

Little memories I carried through.

And when the daylight disappeared,

Somehow, you were always near.

I never said it out loud,

I never gave the feeling a name.

But every time I closed my eyes,

You somehow appeared the same.

If I could dream of those summer days again,

I'd let the night take me wherever it wants to end.

Back to the warmth, back to the light,

Back to the memories I keep out of sight.

And if you find me somewhere in a dream,

Don't wake me yet, let everything stay unseen.

I don't need tomorrow to explain

Why every dream I had

Still feels the same.

Some evenings felt like they could last forever,

A quiet sky, a moment I could treasure.

I watched the stars without a word,

Holding onto feelings never heard.

Time moved on, the seasons changed,

But some things never rearranged.

I thought I'd leave them far behind,

Yet somehow they returned at night.

Maybe dreams remember

What the waking heart lets go.

Maybe some forgotten feelings

Know exactly where to go.

If I could dream of those summer days again,

I'd let the night take me wherever it wants to end.

Back to the warmth, back to the light,

Back to the memories I keep out of sight.

And if you find me somewhere in a dream,

Don't wake me yet, let everything stay unseen.

I don't need tomorrow to explain

Why every dream I had

Still feels the same.

I don't need a name,

I don't need a sign.

Some memories are beautiful

Because they remain mine.

And maybe you were only

A season passing through,

But somehow every quiet night

Still leads me back to you.

So let me dream of those summer days again,

Let the moonlight bring me where the memories begin.

Back to the warmth, back to the sky,

Back to the moments that I never said goodbye.

And if you find me somewhere in a dream,

I'll keep the secret hidden in between.

No one has to know what it became—

I'll simply close my eyes

And dream it all again.

Summer fades,

The night remains.

Some memories disappear…

Some visit us in dreams.

And every dream I had

Still carried you.
