SUMMER DREAMS
(Dorcas Cochran / Rae Seymour)

as recorded by
The McGuire Sisters
1959


Summer dreams,
Where do they go when winter comes?
Their promises are gone
And still they linger on!
Summer dreams, built on a kiss
That taught me this,
Flights to heaven on a summer moon
Return to earth too soon!

Like bold honey bees
Steal their honey and fly,
Like gold autumn leaves
Touch the frost and die,
So my love was only true
When skies were blue!
Yet I pray someday our love will come
With more than summer dreams!

Like gold autumn leaves
Touch the frost and die,
So my love was only true
When skies were blue!
Yet I pray someday our love will come
With more than summer dreams!
