My Best Times

verse1

When I visit my grandparents in the countryside sun,
I ride my bike all day, oh what fun!
Outside in the fresh air, my heart's fluttering high,
With flowers so colorful and trees reaching the sky.

chorus

Oh, my bike and I, we're best friends,
Pedal through the meadows where the joy never ends.
Blue, blue sky above, oh what a sight,
This is my happy place, everything feels right.

verse2

But one day I saw something slow in the way,
A big, fat snail on the road, I couldn't just play.
I hopped off my bike and I wanted to help,
But then I heard a horn that made me yelp!

A loud "HONK!" echoed, my heart skipped a beat,
I jumped back quick, thought I'd made a mistake.
The car rolled on by and oh, it was true,
I heard that crunch, my heart just broke in two.

chorus

Oh, my bike and I, we're best friends,
Pedal through the meadows where the joy never ends.
Blue, blue sky above, oh what a sight,
This is my happy place, everything feels right.

verse3

So I raced back to Grandpa, tears in my eyes,
He hugged me tight and whispered, "It's alright,
Life has its sad times, it's true, my dear,
We must let it go, turn sadness into cheer."

outro

Back on my bike, with a deep, steady breath,
I felt his wisdom chase away the rest.
Riding through the fields, though I still felt blue,
I’m grateful for my times, and the joy that ensues.
