Summer nights are gone
And I can feel the rain as it falls
down on me
Summer days they say
As rivers flow,
my heart it floats away
Oh the sweet scent of
the summer wine
Of the one I love and long to hold
Oh
the birds singing in the clear blue
sky Is this real
or is this life?
So tell me why,
tell me why The birds crow still and the clouds drift by
So tell me why I feel like the lonely sun that sets on the horizon
When you say goodbye
Oh how we danced in the rain
We lived in the rain
We lived and died each day
Just to live another day
Oh how the night calls us out
To watch me dizzy dance
To watch me swirl around the stars Oh
the sweet scent of the summer nights
Of the dreams I've
dreamt of You and I,
the seamless strings of stars
On the canvas of the sky
Is this real or is this life?
So tell me why,
tell me why The stars lose their shine
and the clouds drift by
So tell me why I feel like the lonely moon that waves
When you say goodbye
