Summerdays

(sung by Dale North)

almost oppressively the sun beats down
on regal realms beneath one royal crown
resplendent all-embracing rays bestow
a sense of need where thoughts were won't to flow
confused emotions melt and mingle into shapes I can't discern
one moment's madness makes me cry out loud: “verweil ! du bist so schön !”

distant hilltops just in view
softly shaking veils of blue
summerbirds fly overhead
singing serenades in red to the sky

in the meadow blades of grass
smoothly swaying as breezes pass
underneath an old oak -tree
spilling sunlight sparingly in cool shade

lazy love on summerdays
make believe the sun will shine always

golden blue painting the sky
as by and by clouds roll

lemon blossom, columbine,
for a headband of leaves entwined
wear them in your hair for me
let each petal say that we are in love

lazy love on summerdays
make believe the sun will shine always

I remember summerdays,
I believe in summerdays,
you were all my summerdays...
