Susan Indest, Sami - Chalk on the Sidewalk Lyrics

No more a child, not quite an adult
Summer slowly crept by
Colorful hearts on the sidewalk in chalk
We'd laugh so hard we'd cry

Popsicles, bicycles, shy stolen kisses
On the swings behind your house
Hot humid nights lit up by fireflies
Quietly whispered vows

I waited for you all through autumn
It's winter and I'm waiting still
You drew hearts for me in pink and blue chalk
Now fallen leaves cover the sidewalk

Summers don't last forever
Children learn lessons that hurt
Innocence fades like chalk on a sidewalk
When vows turn to hollow words

I passed by your house hoping to see you
I saw your sister outside
She and her friends were playing hopscotch
She couldn't look me in the eye

I waited for you all through autumn
It's winter and I'm waiting still
You drew hearts for me in pink and blue chalk
Now fallen leaves cover the sidewalk

Cold winter rain washes summer away
Like pink and blue chalk on the sidewalk
Bicycle chains rust in the rain
No fireflies to light up the dark

I waited for you all through autumn
It's winter and I'm waiting still
You drew hearts for me in pink and blue chalk
Now fallen leaves cover the sidewalk
