Dear July

Dear July
You're gonna make me cry
When August comes and leaves you out to dry
Oh, won't you say
It'll be okay?
Oh, what a lie
From my July
Dear July
It's hard to say goodbye
So hold me close and sing a lullaby
Oh, won't you stay
Just one more day?
I'll tell you why
Oh, my July
I'll miss your fireflies and crackers on the Fourth
And although August has your heat
It may never match your warmth
You keep me young, you make me new
You're making all my dreams come true
Oh, what a shame July, you finally have to go
Dear July
I just can't even try
To lift my chin and look you in the eye
We used to play
Through night and day
But those days die
With you, July
I'll miss the face that looked into your starry spread
It picked out every constellation
Full of life, and love unsaid
You keep me young, you make me new
You're making all my dreams come true
Oh, what a shame July, you finally have to go
Dear July
I wish that I could fly
And I'd chase the sun right 'round that summer sky
Cause I'm not ready yet
For it so soon to set
I love you so
July, my love, don't go
