"Lazy Days of Summer Lyrics Critique - Country Song"

Lazy days of summer,
We were best of friends.
The time we shared together,
We thought would never end.
Skippin' stones and ice cream cones,
We climbed that old oak tree.
Mem'ries of the friends we loved
Are still a part of me.

Lazy days of summer,
We were just sixteen.
Sittin' in the moonlight
On my front porch swing.
Holding hands and making plans,
Our love was here to stay.
We talked of things like hopes and dreams,
But that was yesterday.

(Chorus)
Searching through the traces
Of a world we used to know,
Ain't it strange how the years have changed,
Where do the good times go?
I guess I'll always wonder,
But every now and then
I'll be wishing, Lord, to go back
To those lazy days again.

I'll be wishing, Lord, to go back
To those lazy days again.

(Finale)
Lazy days of summer.
