All In A Golden Afternoon
All in a golden afternoon
Under the skies of cloudless blue
Trees sway in the light of day
Every which way from a gentle wind blowing
Never to be known where it’s going
Brown boots laced up tight as can be
Dozing off in a feild of wildflowers
Longing for the day I will at last be free
Flowers full of color and bees come buzzing
Swarming around my head looking for something sweet
Looking into the spring sun as bright as can be
The bees never bother me
For I am free
As I’ll ever be
All in a golden afternoon
Under the skies of cloudless blue
