| 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 and the wind blows
|
| As the days go oh so slowly
|
| And 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 a 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, by 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
|
| In the summer of my dreams |
