In the shade of this old tree
In the summer of my dreams
By the tall grass, by the wild rose
Where the tree stands and the wind blows
As the days go so slowly
As the sun shines oh so holy
On the gold and gracious green
In the summer of my dreams
By the banks of this old stream
In the summer of my dreams
By the deep pool
Where the fish waits
For the old fool
With the wrong bait
There's a field of purple clover
There's a small cloud passing over
And then the rain comes washing clean
In the summer of my dreams
See the raindrops on the grass now
Just like diamonds laying there
By the old road where I pass now
There's a twilight on the air
And as the sun sets down before me
I see my true love waiting for me
Standing by the backports screen
In the summer of my dreams
In the shade of this old tree
In the summer of my dreams
By the tall grass, by the wild rose
Where the tree stands as the biens grow
As the days go so slowly
As the sun shines oh so holy
On the gold and gracious green
In the summer of my dreams
In the summer of my dreams
In the summer of my dreams
By the tall grass, by the wild rose
Where the tree stands and the wind blows
As the days go so slowly
As the sun shines oh so holy
On the gold and gracious green
In the summer of my dreams
By the banks of this old stream
In the summer of my dreams
By the deep pool
Where the fish waits
For the old fool
With the wrong bait
There's a field of purple clover
There's a small cloud passing over
And then the rain comes washing clean
In the summer of my dreams
See the raindrops on the grass now
Just like diamonds laying there
By the old road where I pass now
There's a twilight on the air
And as the sun sets down before me
I see my true love waiting for me
Standing by the backports screen
In the summer of my dreams
In the shade of this old tree
In the summer of my dreams
By the tall grass, by the wild rose
Where the tree stands as the biens grow
As the days go so slowly
As the sun shines oh so holy
On the gold and gracious green
In the summer of my dreams
In the summer of my dreams
