Lyric

I reached into my pocket

Found a petal there

Don't remember how it got there

Or from where

Sitting on the front steps

Turning it around

Maybe from a day I carried

Home without a sound

Yesterday and today

Blending in the sun

Little pieces gathering

One by one

A pocket full of summer

I never meant to keep

Tiny little moments

Finding their way to me

A pocket full of summer

Bright as it can be

One small flower petal

And every day between

A grass seed and a ribbon thread

Hidden in the seam

Nothing that was meant to matter

More than it would seem

Laying everything out beside me

On the wooden floor

All at once the past few days

Were gathered at my door

Not enough to make a story

Still enough to stay

A pocket full of summer

I never meant to keep

Tiny little moments

Finding their way to me

A pocket full of summer

Bright as it can be

One small flower petal

And every day between

Laughter drifting through the window

Sunlight on the wall

The day is still wide open

Like it hasn't started at all

A pocket full of summer

It keeps growing every day

Not because I'm holding on

But because it wants to stay

A pocket full of summer

Golden as can be

One small flower petal

And a season keeping me
