lyrics

In the hazy days of summer when the sun has settled down
And the fragrant flowers upon the boughs have all but drifted down
I have wondered through the city, the pavement 'neath my feet
I'm reminded of a time that was so innocent and sweet.

And I recall. I recall.

How you held me close and tender, how you held me in your arms
We were clinging to the whole night through and falling through the stars
And I recall. I recall.
Those days mean something different to me now.

I am older now, and wiser -- unseduced by flattery
I'm walking down the streets of town with nowhere I need to be.
I have settled like the sunlight. I have settled in my bones.
When the day is done I have become unafraid to be alone.

And I recall. I recall.
Those days mean something different to me now.
I loved you like I could not love you now.
That perfect passion, that wildfire, that burning, bleeding, bright desire
Is gone. I don't want it back.

Because you gave me something better. Maybe I had it all along.
I learned to be in love with me when the love you gave was gone.
And I recall. I recall.

Those hazy days of summer, when the sun was sinking down
And the fragrant flowers upon the boughs were drifting all around.
You walked along beside me, our footsteps synchronized
To a secret beat our hearts would keep, now I would not recognize.

And I recall. I recall
Those days mean something different to me now.
And I hope you found your happiness somehow.
