Regie Hamm - Flying Lyrics

I remember my father as a young man
I remember him holding my small hand
Fourth day of a new July
Big parade with apple pie
Bottle rockets in the sky
Flying

I remember the friends of my youth
We were ten feet tall and bullet proof
Up all day, up all night
Ready to love, ready to fight
Feeling high as an April kite
Flying

Go on and reminisce a while
It's bound to bring a smile
The memories are fond
Go on and tell your favorite lies
It's no surprise
We remember it better than it was
That's what this time that's passing does
It's like a magic wand

I remember Jeanie so young
I remember the taste on my tongue
Lips as sweet as peach ice cream
Summer sweat, window steam
Down by some forgotten stream
Flying

You can't hold that feeling long enough
That diamond in the rough
The nearly perfect night
It's only yours to borrow - not to own
I should've known
These tangled moments that we weave
Are just here long enough to leave
At the speed of light

I believe tomorrow is a good day
It's gonna come and go on the express way
I'll find myself in another rhyme
Splash of soda, twist of lime
Check my watch, watching time
Flying

I remember my father as a young man
