It won’t be too much longer
‘Til the school year starts again;
Days are flying faster now,
Summer’s coming to an end.
Going to bed earlier
And getting up at dawn;
Alarm clock wakes me from my sleep
To put the coffee on.
Will be reading, taking notes,
And making lesson plans;
Getting back in a routine
As quickly as I can.
But for now there’s still some time
Before the summer ends;
Time to do just as I please,
Alone or with my friends.
It doesn’t really matter how
I spend these precious days,
Just making every moment count
Before the summer strays.
