Through the long days of summer Where the air was as sweet as perfume We walked through the golden meadows And danced by the light of the moon She was a lonely angel Sitting there by the side of the road On the edge of the forest That's where the wild things grow And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl In her hand was a basket Sticks and branches were woven as one She smiled bright like a child Bright as the afternoon sun It was filled with her treasures A whole cradle of nature's bounty Wild flowers were chosen To lay amongst the forest berries And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl "It's a great day for a gatherer You can say that I told you so In these uncertain days It's the simple things you need the most" And blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl Blue skies of promise opened before us There in her eyes are the dreams of the world Blue skies of promise rained down upon us Life is so sweet with a strawberry girl----
