I can remember summer when I was younger and stronger,
My only regret is that I never enjoyed it longer .
Even though life in a nursing home is comfortably good .
Id like to be down at the beach and think if only I could .
So I treasure the all those summer times and all that I have done .
The nice thing about being old is you're not the only one.
I'm lucky to have friends my age to share summer day and night .
We spend times playing bingo and hope we get our numbers right .
Sometimes when we're walking to our room we need a helping hand .
Its like surfing on the water but left dumped upon the sand
But I'm happy to have enjoyed summertimes long before I'm dead .
I'm not sorry for the risks I taken or the things I've said .
I'm sorry you never knew me back when I was fit and fast .
Let me propose a toast ,
to the summer and long may it last .
