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
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
