Summer Song (From "Jazz Impressions Of The USA") - Dave Brubeck

Love, to me, is like a summer day

Silent 'cause, there’s just too much to say

Still, and warm, and peaceful

Even clouds that may drift by

Can’t disturb our summer sky

I’ll take summer, that’s my time of year

Winter’s shadow, seems to disappear

Gay is swanee season

That’s the reason I can say

That I love a summer day

I hear laughter, from the swimming hole

Kids out fishin', with the willow pole

Boats come driftin', round the bend

Why must summer, ever end…

Love, to me, is like a summer day

If it ends, the memories will stay

Still, and warm, and peaceful

Now the days are getting long

I can sing my summer song

I hear laughter, from the swimmin' hole

Kids out fishin', with the willow pole

Boats come driftin', round the bend

Why must summer, ever end…

Oh, love to me, is like a summer’s day

If it ends, the memories will stay

Still, and warm, and peaceful

Now the days are getting long

I can sing, my summer song
