The summer wind, came blowin'
in from across the sea
It lingered there to touch your
hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song
and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer
wind
Like painted kites, those days
and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue
umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man one
day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the
summer wind
The autumn wind and the winter
winds, they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely
days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his
lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer
wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
Mmm, the summer wind
