Words & Music by Metcalfe/Noble/Chad Stuart
(Attributed elsewhere to Waldo Sale & Roy Webb)
Recorded by Chad & Jeremy, 1964 (#7)



G  Em   C     D7            G       Em    C
Trees . . . swayin' in the summer breeze,

 D       D7        G     Em      C    D7       G
showin' off their silver leaves    as we walk by.


G   Em  C      D7        G        Em   C
Soft . . .  kisses on a summer's day,

 D       D7       G     Em  C       D7      G
Laughin' all our cares away,   just you and I.


G     Em  C   D7              G      Em     C
Sweet . . . sleepy warmth of summer nights,

 D    D7      G        Em    C         D7    G  Em  F  C  G
Gazing at the distant lights   in the starry sky.


Bridge:

C               D                    G       Em
  They say that all good things must end someday,

 C      D          Em
Autumn leaves must fall.

     G                      Em
But don't you know that it hurts me so

   Am               D   D7
To say good-bye to you;

Em                          D  Em                D
   Wish you didn't have to go,    no - no - no - no.
 

         G   Em  C  D        D7      G      Em    C    
When the rain . . . beats against my window pane,

      D       D7      G     Em  C      D7       G  Em  F  C  G
I'll think of summer days again,  and dream of you.


Repeat Bridge:


           G  Em C   D       D7      G       Em     C
When the rain . . . beats against my window pane,

      D        D7     G    Em   C       D7       G  Em  C
I'll think of summer days again,   and dream of you,

     D7       G   Em  C   D   E
And dream of you.
