Lyrics Johnny Mercer

Johnny Mercer

Summer Wind

The summer wind came blowin' in

From across the sea

It lingered there so warm and fair

All summer long

we sang a song

And then we strolled on golden sand

Two friends

and the summer wind

Like painted skies, those days and nights

They went flying by

The world was new

Beneath the bright blue

Umbrella sky

Then softer than

That piper man

One day, it called to you

And I lost you

I lost you to

The summer wind

The autumn wind

And the winter winds

They have come and they have gone

And still those days

Those lonely days

They go on and on

And guess who sighs his lullabies

To all the nights that never end?

My fickle friend,

The summer wind
