Summer, you old Indian Summer
You're the tear that comes after
June-time's laughter
You see so many dreams that
don't come true
Dreams we fashioned when
Summertime was new
You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken by a
word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in
June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I
say
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer"
<extended sax solo>
You are here to watch over
A heart that is broken by a word
that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in
June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I
say
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer"
You old Indian Summer
