The sum-mer wind, came blow-in' in

From a - cross the sea

It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me

Two sweet-hearts and the sum-mer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights,

They went fly-in' by

One day it called to you

I lost you, I lost you to the sum-mer wind

And guess who sighs his lul-la-bies

Through nights that nev-er end

My fick-le friend, the sum-mer wind
Ending

The sum-mer wind
Warm sum-mer wind
Mmm, the sum-mer wind
