It Must Be Summer Lyrics

Well it can't be autumn for the leaves are surely clinging

And it can't be winter because Christmas bells don't ring

Oh it can't be spring for your flowers have all but sprung free

Yes it must be summer for I hear your sweet voice sing

Come follow me

Last night while sweetly dreaming that you and I were lovers

I could smell the grass of summer as it mingled in your hair

Now the moon is quite precocious and he likes a bit of mischief

So he whispered"Say I love you" In summer's evening breeze

Come follow me

It must be summer, the way I'm thinking

It must be summer, or you'd be here

You left in spring time and left the gar-den gate

Flappin in the breeze, in the morning with the dawn

And the neighbors pesky dog tore the flowers up

And I'll never plant a garden there again

It must be summer, and all good summers end

On the way to Black Birds Hollow there's a gentle spring a-gurglin

Where one can take their shoes off and soothe their tired feet

And it's there I saw your eyes beam in the magic haze of moonshine

And I knew that it was summer when you pushed me in the stream

Come follow me

Now the weeds are high as corn stalks there remains no one to cut them

And I've left off giving half a care if the roses bloom or no

It's the memory of your time here and the seasons there weren't many

So I cherish every summer but the garden just won't keep

Now I follow you

It must be summer, the way I'm thinking

It must be summer, or you'd be here

You left in spring time and left the gar-den gate

Flappin in the breeze, in the morning with the dawn

And the neighbors pesky dog tore the flowers up

And I'll never plant a garden there again

It must be summer, and all good summers end

It must be summer, and all good summers end
