Swing On Down

by Donavon Frankenreiter

on The Abbey Road Sessions (2007), Donavon Frankenreiter (2004)

in the morning when the sun still shines
the last star lingers in the pale blue sky
that's when i know you're around
said that's when i know you're around

and in the evenin' when the light comes through the trees
the birds sing a song as if they're singin' to me
that's when i know you're around
said that's when i know you're around

i'm dreamin' if you could, swing on down, swing on down to me
i wanna know if you would swing on down, swing on down to me
every time i see somethin' like that... (swing on down, swing on down to me)
i want you to ... (swing on down, swing on down to me)
baby, won't you just ... (swing on down to me)

every time the rain comes out but the sun still wants to shout
that's when i know you're around
i said that's when i know you're around
ya know all the colors, they just speak to me
tell me stories of how it used to be when you were still around
i wish you were still around

cause i want you to swing on down
swing on down to me
from the clouds won't you just, swing on down to me
baby won't you just swing on down to me
i wanna see you today
i want you to swing on down to me
it's gonna feel so good

and all the colors they tell me things
the birds in the trees
and the stars in the sky

Was it the song you were looking for? Yes 🥳

I heard this song on Hawaii 5-0. I had been sitting here thinking about my late husband, and the words were exactly how I felt..feel...on the daily. Thank you.

I also just watched that episode and was moved for the same reason to find this song.

I just watched the same Hawaii 5-0 episode everyone else mentioned. I am coming up on my son's 5th angelversary, so the song's message touched my grieving heart as well. I appreciated what Quin said in the episode about her brother's life being about so much more than the way he died. My 23-year-old son passed away from a fatal seizure but I always say I don't want to talk about Cameron's death, I want to talk about his life! The song is a good reminder that we can still feel the spirit & essence of our loved ones which helps get through the days until we are reunited in Heaven.
