In the Summertime

People come to see you

When you don't wake up

In the summertime

People come to see you

When you don't wake up

In the summertime

We get so high

We get so high

Why you sleeping in

On this lovely summer morning?

Sun it is shining

Oh it is shining

People come and tell me

It's a pretty dress

That I picked for you to wear

Come and ask me how your makeup looks so fresh

And the way they did your hair

They kiss your eyes

They kiss your eyes and touch your hand

And the lilac flowers laying by your feet

Remind me of those shoes you used to wear

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

I go see you in the summertime

Don't know if you know I'm there

Bring you lots of flowers in the summertime

Picture flowers in your hair

I lay them down

Cover the ground

With the colors I remember that you loved

That summer

Back when we were twenty

When we were twenty

When we were twenty-one
