Summer, you old Indian summer   You're the tear that comes after June-time's laughter   You see so many dreams that don't come true   Dreams we fashioned when summertime was new      You are here to watch over some heart   That is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken   You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray   Fading too soon, that's why I say      Farewell to you, Indian summer      You are here to watch over a heart   That is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken   You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray   Fading too soon, that's why I say      Farewell to you, Indian summer   You old Indian summer
