Suzy Bogguss - Baby July lyrics

Baby July, born on the hottest day since 1939 Singing cicadas, summer lullaby She sleeps right through the afternoon And wakes just when the air is cool enough To smell the jasmine when it opens up and blooms Baby July, you are golden You are every summertime How you always seem to find The smallest path to sun Baby July, bare feet running Just to feel the earth below Got no special place to go The world is shining just beause she does Baby July leaves a scent of fresh-cut gra** to linger Polishing rocks with her fingertips She's the sound of distant firecrackers The taste of homemade candied apples Buy a box of cherries from her stand along the road Baby July, you are golden You are every summertime How you always seem to find The smallest path to sun Baby July, bare feet running Just to feel the earth below Got no special place to go The world is shining just beause she does When the days grow shorter If you close your eyes You may see her laughing And it'll make you smile Baby July, you are golden You are every summertime How you always seem to find The smallest path to sun Baby July, bare feet running Just to feel the earth below Got no special place to go The world is shining just beause she does Baby July
