Summer Love

Summer love, a man, a woman, conception, a new born 
Ring the bells, amplify megaphones, bugle the cow horn
 
The ceremony begins, baptism, cries, holy water 
From two one, family, father, mother, son or daughter
 
A priests blessings, proud grandparents, proud parents, birth anew 
Hospital papers, a birth certificate, much to do
 
Tears from parents, tears from baby, tears from all, tears of joy 
Breast fed, nipples, milking mothers, changing diapers, oh boy
 
A songbird sings, rock-a-bye-baby, lullaby's at large 
Aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, sitters take charge
 
A pacifier, a cradle, corners of stuffed toys 
Hanging crib toys, singing toys, jingling bells, rattling noise
 
A new generation, of life, all this, in summer love 
A woman, man, baby, a family, from god above
