THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER
(L. Miller / E. Cassen / M. Littman / R. Butler)

Lou Praeger & His Orchestra


I’ve made a date for the first day of summer
A date when the skies are blue
There’ll be songbirds to meet me
And rosebuds to greet me
When I’m on my way to you.

We will meet at the church of St. Mary
When the joy bells begin to chime
What a wonderful day for a wedding
The first day of summer time.

(Orchestral interlude)

What a wonderful day for a wedding
The first day of summer time.
