"When We Were Light" lyrics

One more sleep and then
We'll pack our things and go
With memories in our hearts
And sand in our clothes

There's a mist rising up
Forming clouds from the lake
And the oak trees are whispering
"Shh, it's gonna rain"
Guess I oughta be sad
'Cause goodbyes are heavy
But here I am now
And I feel as light as the clouds

Let's get together and scroll through old pictures
Of people and places we've known
Of a lifetime
That began only five days ago

In the morning, we'll pull
The last sheets from the bunks
And we'll put them away till next year
I guess I ought to be sad
New beginnings are heavy
But here we are now
And I feel as light as the clouds

Baseball and campfires (Giant sequoias)
And marshmallow treats (Grass tall as me)
Splashing 'round in our shoes through a creek (Just get in, it's not cold as it seems)
You loved the you things
And I loved the me things
But you and me, loved it all just the same

So tonight, let's scroll through old pictures
Of people and places we've known
And wonder how the days passed so quickly
As life seemed to slow

And it's true, something's changed
And it's hard to explain
But I'll keep this feeling tucked safely away
For the rainy days
When life seems so heavy
This feeling of now
When we were light as the clouds

When we were light as the clouds
When we were light as the clouds
When we were light as the clouds
When we were light as the clouds (We were merrily, merrily)
When we were light as the clouds (Merrily, merrily)
When we were light as the clouds (We were merrily, merrily)
When we were light
