The Sunshine's Temporary Breeze — Original Country Song

The Sunshine’s Temporary Breeze A Warm Country-Folk Story of Fleeting Days, Love & Lasting Memories Lyrics--- (Verse 1) Morning broke across the soybean fields, Golden light on the old wagon wheels, A warm breeze rolled through the cottonwood trees, Carrying summer like a song on the breeze. I had my boots by the front porch door, That old screen squeaking like it did before, Coffee steaming in a chipped-up cup, Watching the whole wide world wake up. The sun was shining like it planned to stay, But every sunrise eventually turns to day. --- (Pre-Chorus) That's when I learned what the old folks knew— Nothing beautiful stays forever new. --- (Chorus) Oh, the sunshine's temporary breeze, Rolling through the branches of the summer trees, Warm on my face, wild and free, Here for a moment, then gone from me. But I won't chase it, I won't complain, I won't curse the clouds or blame the rain. I'll hold every golden memory, From the sunshine's temporary breeze. --- (Verse 2) She came walking down that gravel road, Blue-jean jacket and a heart of gold. Her laughter floated through the afternoon, Like a fiddle playing underneath the moon. We drove that truck till the daylight faded, Talking about dreams we hadn't yet made. She said, “Some things aren't meant to remain.” I smiled and said, “Then let's enjoy today.” We watched the sunset paint the sky red, Knowing tomorrow would come instead. --- (Chorus) Oh, the sunshine's temporary breeze, Rolling through the branches of the summer trees, Warm on my face, wild and free, Here for a moment, then gone from me. But I won't chase it, I won't complain, I won't curse the clouds or blame the rain. I'll hold every golden memory, From the sunshine's temporary breeze. --- (Verse 3) Years went by like a river runs, Changing seasons, changing everyone. That gravel road got paved somehow, And the old barn roof has fallen down. The porch still stands beneath the trees, Though it don't look quite the same to me. But when the evening wind comes through, I swear I hear her voice like I used to. Maybe memories don't really disappear— Maybe they just wait for the right time of year. --- (Bridge — Country-Rock Lift) So let it blow! Let the warm wind run! Let the daylight shine Before it meets the sun! Let the good times come, Let the hard times go, Let the river take whatever we can't hold. 'Cause life ain't measured By what stays forever— It's measured by the moments That made us better. --- (Verse 4) Now I sit beneath that same old tree, Watching another summer drift over me. A young couple walks that gravel road, Carrying dreams and a brand-new load. I smile because I know what they'll learn— Every little season has its turn. The sun goes down, The cool wind comes, And somewhere tomorrow another morning runs. --- (Final Chorus — Big & Heartfelt) Oh, the sunshine's temporary breeze, Rolling through the branches of the summer trees, Warm on my face, wild and free, Here for a moment, then gone from me. I won't chase it, I won't complain, I'll welcome the sunshine and welcome the rain. Every goodbye leaves a memory, Every hello brings another breeze. And if tomorrow takes yesterday from me, I'll still be thankful for what I got to see. The sunshine's temporary breeze... Was temporary— But it meant everything to me. --- (Outro) So when the warm wind finds you On some quiet afternoon... Don't close the window. Don't leave too soon. Let it move through the curtains, Let it dance through the trees... Sometimes forever Isn't what something needs. Sometimes all you need Is one beautiful moment... One golden day... One passing breeze... The sunshine's temporary breeze. ☀️🌾💛🎸
