Alan Bergman - Summer of '42 (the Summer Knows) lyrics

[Verse 1] The summer smiles, the summer knows And unashamed she sheds her clothes The summer smoothes the restless sky And lovingly she warms the sand, on which you lie [Verse 2] The summer knows, the summer's wise She sees the doubts within your eyes And so she takes her summertime [Verse 3] Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger Twists the world 'round her summer finger Lets you see the wonder of it all [Chorus] And if you've learned your lesson well There's little more for her to tell One last caress, it's time to dress, for fall [Chorus] And if you've learned your lesson well There's little more for her to tell One last caress, it's time to dress, for fall
