I had a dream the other day You were mine and here to stay I awoke and you were gone I began to sing this song You were my summer girl Beautiful summer girl You were my summer girl Sweet baby sweet Hair of henna heart of gold You were young and I was bold Call me sweetheart in my ear Say the words I love to hear Across the ocean far away I left you on a summer day No, I didn't say goodbye Left you there to sit and cry Lovers come, lovers go Where you are, I don't know I doubt we'll meet again I think about you now and then You were my summer girl Beautiful summer girl You were my summer girl Sweet baby sweet You were my summer girl Beautiful summer girl You were my summer girl Sweet baby sweet You were my summer girl Beautiful summer girl You were my summer girl Sweet baby sweet You were fun when you were mine In the lovely summer time Now it's over now it's done For awhile we had some fun You were my summer girl Beautiful summer girl You were my summer girl Sweet baby sweet You were my German girl Beautiful German girl You were my German girl Sweet baby sweet
