Scorching summer day in July

Child at laundry time with her mother

Blue jeans dancing in a blue sky

 

Spider spins a web, the child asks why

Always eager to play and discover

On a scorching summer day in July

 

Fatigued mother swats at a fly

As it buzzes close enough to bother

Blue jeans dancing in a blue sky

 

The fly is wounded, but it does not die

As the child watches it to fall to join her

On a scorching summer day in July

 

Grown child never thought to say Goodbye

Hurrying to the future by jetliner

Blue jeans still dancing in a blue sky

 

With children of her own, she gives a sigh

Missing childhood days and wanting another

On a scorching summer day in July

 

Blue jeans still dancing in a blue sky

Repetition

When frequent, becomes lyric for composition and orchestration. This is so folksy - and guitar worthy - Just Bein' Stella
