I Love Susie In The Summer

Soft through wooded elm trees dangling
I hear the songs of summer jangling
While up above the birds are winging
And I hear the children's voices ringing

And flowers blossom all around me
In many colors oh so lovely
And I hear the tinkling laughing talking
Along the green lane that I'm walking
And I love Susie in the summer
When shadows fall away

Tomorrow brings another dawning
And sleepy eyed girls waking, yawning
To listen to their morning glories
All singing of their new day stories

While sorrow lies alone unsleeping
Beside the dark of winter weeping
For she can't touch me through the season
That casts away all right reason
That's why I love Susie in the summer
When shadows fall away

I hear a still voice calling
Hold back a while and stay
Too many tears have fallen
Too many lives away

Soft through wooded elm trees dangling
I hear the songs of summer jangling
While up above the birds are winging
And I hear the children's voices ringing

And flowers blossom all around me
In many colors oh so lovely
And I hear the tinkling laughing talking
Along the green lane that I'm walking
And I love Susie in the summer
When shadows fall away
