THE LAST TWO WEEKS IN JULY

The last two weeks in July
Our vacation brought us together
Though we did have some rainy weather
Those two weeks simply flew by

When hearts are high in the sky
There’s so much joy to remember
That it’s hard to think of December
The last two weeks in July

We spent fourteen days up in Heaven
And when we were ready to part
You packed all your things in your handbag
Including my heart

Until the coming July
I’ll just watch the calendar turning
Hoping you will get the same yearning
The last two weeks in July.
