American Honey | Skagit County Photographer

March 25, 2010

Yes, another post about song lyrics!  Lately, there have been some amazing songs that I really love and at the top of my playlist is “American Honey” by Lady Antebellum.    Not only is the song beautiful, but so is the video.  See and hear it HERE (after the Geico ad… which did make me laugh!)

Haven’t you ever had those moments when you wish you could go back to the sweeter time?  The simpler days of childhood. Barefoot in the grass, riding your bike on a warm summer day, your summertime crush… go back to American honey.

There’s a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing’s sweeter than summer time
And American honey

My sweet girl, may you grow up slow and sweet – just like American honey.


The knit dress is from a pattern by Kyoko at Cotton and Cloud. Her patterns are gorgeous!
