Summer of My Dreams

Summer of my Dreams

In the shade of this old tree, in the summer of my dreams
By the tall grass, by the wild rose,
Where the trees dance as the wind blows
As the days go oh so slowly,
As the sun shines oh so holy on the good and gracious green
In the summer of my dreams

By the banks of this old stream, in the summer of my dreams,
By the deep pool where the fish wait,
For the old fool with the wrong bait,
There's a field of purple clover, there's a small cloud passing over,
And then the rain comes washing clean,
On the summer of my dreams

See the raindrops, on the grass now, just like diamonds lying there,
By the old road, where I pass now, there's twilight in the air
And as the sun sets down before me
I see my true love waiting for me, standing by the back porch screen,
In the summer of my dreams

In the shade of this old tree, in the summer of my dreams
By the tall grass, near the wild rose,
Where the trees dance as the beans grow
As the days go oh so slowly,
As the sun shines oh so holy, on the good and gracious green
On the summer of my dreams
