WASN’T THE SUMMER SHORT
(R. Lyons (m &l))

Johnny Mathis 1961



Wasn't the summer short
Didn't it seem to fly
Where are the nights we thought we'd find
Our love under summer skies.

Didn't that careless moon
Forget to find us
Didn't the month of June
Fail utterly to remind us that…

Autumn comes all too soon
Midsummer madness dies
Nothing is quite the same when leaves
Turn gold 'neath September skies

Why did we let this magic time go by
Wasn't the summer short
Didn't it fly.

(bridge)

Why did we let this magic time go by
Wasn't the summer short
Didn't it seem to fly
Wasn't the summer short
Didn’t it fly.

NOTES:

Johnny Mathis has sold over 350 million records confirmed by Guinness World
Records and was the undisputed king of the romantic Fifties ‘make out ‘ music.
