Have you ever stopped to notice
   the butterflies this time of year?
They swarm around in magnetic fields
   and I...forget my troubles for a while.

The grass feels cool and wet beneath my feet
   as the sun gently warms my face
On Riverside there's always magic
   in Oklahoma in the summer time.

So I take a sip-
   a sip of my beer
And I forget-I forget where I am
   so I light another cigarette
then I turn my face towards the wind
   I hear a familiar voice
From somewhere down below
   I recognize her face
-and I greet her with a smile.

Have you ever stopped to notice
   how children seem to play?
Just in streams of primary colors
   chaotic balls of energy.

So I sit here, on a park bench
for a while
   and I take it in from afar
On Riverside there's always magic
   in Oklahoma in the summer time

So I take a sip
   a sip of my beer
and I forget-where I am
So I light another cigarette
   and I start to pretend
I hear a familiar voice from somewhere
   down below
I recognize her face
   and I greet her with a smile.
