INDIAN SUMMER
|
Tommy Dorsey
|
- words by Al Dubin, Music by Victor Herbert
|
- written in 1919 as a piano piece subtitled "An American Idyll"
|
- lyrics added in 1939
|
|
Summer, you old Indian Summer
|
You're the tear that comes after June time's laughter
|
You see so many dreams that don't come true
|
Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new
|
You are here to watch over
|
Some heart that is broken
|
By a word that somebody left unspoken
|
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
|
Fading too soon, that's why I say
|
"Farewell to you Indian Summer"
