Madeleine Under Summer Skies

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Madeleine, you were eighteen,
Golden skin under summer’s sheen,
In the garden, lost in your world,
The forbidden thought, a beautiful girl.

I was older, held back my gaze,
But you caught me, lost in a haze,
The way you smiled, it broke the day,
But I turned, knowing I couldn’t stay.

[Chorus]

Oh Madeleine, in the sun you shone,
A beauty I couldn’t call my own,
But even now, when I close my eyes,
I see you still, under summer skies.

[Verse 2]

Fifteen years, they’ve come and gone,
But the memory of you lingers on,
I saw you again, now with a child,
Still so graceful, still so wild.

A mother now, with strength and pride,
But the girl I knew is still inside,
You laughed, and time stood still for me,
Madeleine, you’re all I see.

[Chorus]

Oh Madeleine, in the sun you shone,
A beauty I couldn’t call my own,
But even now, when I close my eyes,
I see you still, under summer skies.

[Bridge]

I kept the distance, played my part,
But you’ve never left my heart,
Through all the years, through all the time,
Your smile remains, still so divine.

[Outro]

Oh Madeleine, you’ve grown so bright,
In every role, you’re still my light,
A beauty that time couldn’t take away,
Madeleine, forever you’ll
