Long ago I wrote a song of love and laughter That no-one else could understand The perfect song It spoke of all I'd ever wished for Of all the dreams I'd ever had Lonely tunes Waiting for the one Who'd sing beside me The world turns The chorus fades Without her there will be No summer sky No field of green No time to sing of all the wonders I have seen A fall of rain, a cooling breeze All at once I'm listening to a whisper The falling of leaves No more summertime But there you stand Made of love and made of laughter That no one else could understand Don't turn away As I sing through watercolours To drown your beauty And my shame I hear you now Hear the gentle voice That sings beside me The world turns The chorus builds I know that there will be A summer sky A field of green A time to sing of all the wonders we have seen A fall of rain, a cooling breeze All at once we're listening to a whisper The falling of leaves No more summertime Summertime
