A Summer Storm
Love's an emotion that is known to all
Since the very first day we are born
The degree of love and intense infatuation
Can be just like a summer storm
From a gentle shower to a thunderous roar
It exhibits the power of the rain
The depth of love can be similar in intensity
Can be powerful or a simple refrain
A feeling that lives down deep in our soul
Like nothing that we've ever felt
It can often leave us weak and trembling
Slurring our words as we melt
Nothing else in our multitude of emotions
Can even come close to this joy
Like the day our child takes their first step
Or young love between girl and boy
As time marches on, many things diminish
In intensity, in depth, in passion
But one thing that will always remain
Love will never go out of fashion
Love's an emotion that is known to all
Basic since the day we are born
The degree of love and intense infatuation
Can be just like a summer storm
