They say that summer love is just a fleeting dream
A fire that burns too bright, then runs out of steam
Everyone warns me, "Don't give in to the glow"
Don't let the forest of doubt be the place that you go
But this isn't a flame that will scorch and depart
It’s a quiet devotion that’s deep in my heart
Just to see your smile at the start of the day
Is all that I need to be finding my way
It's not a burning love, not a wildfire soul
Just a gentle peace that makes me feel whole
Watching the time as it drifts soft and slow
Sharing the same view, watching it grow
Like sitting in a patch of golden sun
A beautiful life has only just begun
Deep in my chest, a flower begins to bloom
When our eyes meet, there’s no more room for gloom
I’m waiting for the tomorrow that we’ll create
Walking together, choosing our own fate
This isn't a love that will flicker and die
It’s the warmth of the earth and the depth of the sky
Even the color of the wind is turning to blue
Everything changes when I’m here with you
No more mirages, no more fevered nights
Just the comfort of these simple, steady lights
The scenery we share is a treasure I hold
A story of us that is yet to be told
Turning into gold
It's not a burning love, not a wildfire soul
Just a gentle peace that makes me feel whole
Watching the time as it drifts soft and slow
Sharing the same view, watching it grow
Like sitting in a patch of golden sun
A beautiful life has only just begun
The color of the wind
Sharing the same view
Not a dream, but the truth
