Look there’s people out in the streets
Laughing in the bars and sharing some drinks
Sitting in the cafes, sipping their lattes, making small talk

And don’t it feel nice
After all the fire & rain & ice
To be standing in the sunshine, your hand in mine, strolling on the sidewalk

Yes it comes – & not a day too late
A day we finally get the chance to celebrate
Celebrate the summer day
Step out in the street and join the parade
Just a’laughing and a’singing as happy as the day is long

Well it seemed like it would never end
Like we would never be together again
Those dark nights we could not recall the faces of our friends

And don’t it feel strange to stop
Stop waiting for yet another shoe to drop
And I know there’s plenty shoes, if you’re reading the news, yeah they’re raining like frogs

Still it comes – & not a day too late
A day we finally get the chance to celebrate
Celebrate the summer day 
Step out in the street and join the parade
Just a’laughing and a’singing as happy as the day is long

Oooh it’s been a long, long …. oohhh, it’s been a long, long, long, long
oooohh it’s been a long, long, lonely lonely lonely lonely long long time

Since we had a summer day
Step out in the street and join the parade
Just a’laughing and a’singing as happy as the day is long

Just a’laughing and a’singing as happy as the day is long

Happy As The Day Is Long (demo)

I want to write you a song that’s sweet and true
I want to tell you the way I feel for you
I’ve got a lot to say, lot of words, every day
But sometimes simple is all that you need

Baby you’re so good, you’re so good to me
Where did I find you, that you treat me so sweet?
I was getting ready, ready, ready
Ready for a love I was waiting for

You are so giving and you are so kind
You’ve got to let me give back once in awhile

This is a good life, this life here with you
This is a new life, what my life changed into
I was looking so far, so far, so far
Looking for a love I’ve been waiting for

This is a new love now it’s growing strong
I’m right with you love, right where I belong

Below the surface, you’ll find my heart
It’s not so far down as it was in the start
I think you feel it, feel it, feel it
Cause I see now I see you’re who I’ve been waiting for
You’re who I’ve been waiting for

You’re Who I’ve Been Waiting For

Forgive me for my tunnel vision
I’ve gone OFF THE GRID
I’m voyaging in lands I have not known

If you should find me absent
with my front door left ajar
apples ripening on the trees
to be picked in the fall

Forgive me friends, forgive me if I’ve been gone
I want to come back to you, I don’t mean to do you wrong
but don’t you see, I’m so happy
and you know that I’ve been alone so long, so long
So long, so long

Forgive me if the deep green trees 
distract my starry gaze
I’ve stepped off of the grid
and following a labyrinth maze

I don’t know where it’s leading me
swirling out and in
deeper in to my own heart
and my true love to him

Forgive me friends, forgive me if I’ve been gone
I want to come back to you, I don’t mean to do you wrong
but don’t you see, I’m so happy
and you know that I’ve been alone so long, so long
So long, so long

The Road Home

On the road home we all wonder
Did I do it right?
Did I meet the day or did I squander
that precious light?

Did I work hard enough to say I tried?
Did I take it in and enjoy the ride?
Did I do my best, did I make a mark?
Did I shine a light with my little spark?

On the road home we all wonder
Did I choose well?
Did I find my way or did I flounder?
What will the story tell?

Should I have found a man, settled down and had kids?
Should I have been bolder, and taken more risks?
Should I have sold everything and traveled the land?
Should I have been happier with what I had?

On the road home we all wonder
Was I good enough?
What kinds of things will they remember?
Did I earn their love?

Did I listen up with my true heart?
Did I roll my sleeves up and do my part?
Did I say sorry when I was wrong?
Did I let them know that I loved them
before I was gone?
