But now the summer is over. I have started watching people leave, many more leave today. Some I got really close with and will miss them. But like every year, no matter what, next time you see them, it will pick up right where it left off. It's never good bye, it's see you later.
Summer turns to fall, and you watch change happen right in front of your eyes. The leaves change colors, the lake cools down quickly, squirrels and chipmunks storing their food for the winter, the sounds of camp are gone. It is time to get ready for the next summer. We all cannot wait for that time to see each other again. To get ready for that, Jocey and I rewrote a song to turn it to a Silver Bay song. It is All Summer Long by Kid Rock. Here are the lyrics if you would like to read. Hopefully it can get put to music someday. Enjoy!!
It
was 2012, my thoughts were there I was ready
Time
to be at a place we all love
The
sun was showing and there was a warm wind blowing
It
was summertime finally at the bay
Looking
at the north star, sitting by a campfire
It’s
the simple things in life that make us Emps
Playing
softball until we sweat but man I never will forget
The
way the moonlight shined upon the lake
And
we were trying different things, we were doing crazy things
Jamming
out by the lake to our favorite song
Having
ice cream at the store, not thinking about tomorrow
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
We
were tanning on the ERC
Listening
to music at the PERC
It’ll
forever hold a spot inside my soul
We’d
blister in the sun, we couldn’t wait for work be done
To
hit that sand and play some volleyball
And
we were trying different things
And
we were doing crazy things
Jamming
out by the lake to our favorite song
Having
ice cream at the store, not thinking about tomorrow
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Now
nothing seems as cool as
A
clear lake swimming pool
Or
how we thought the summer would never end
Sometimes
I hear a song and I start to sing along
And
think, man I’d love to see that place again
Man,
I’d like to see that place again
And
we were trying different things, we were doing crazy things
Jamming
out by the lake to our favorite song
Having
ice cream at the store, not thinking about tomorrow
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
And
we were trying different things, we were doing crazy things
Jamming
out by the lake to our favorite song
Having
ice cream at the store, not thinking about tomorrow
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Singing
sweet home silver bay all summer long
Sweet
home silver bay yeah
Singing all summer long
