Harry Belafonte The Girls In Their Summer Dresses Lyrics

The Girls In Their Summer Dresses Lyrics

Lyrics:



I remember summer morning

Dawning light and bright
and gay

And the girls in their summer dresses

Walking, Walking on
their way



I remember distant laughter

Afternoons of past
Julys

And the girls in their summer dresses

With their secret
smiling eyes



Tender arms so smooth and slender

Downy and
brown from sunlit days

Wrapped in evening silvery splendor

Resting
on tables in dim cafs



I remember midsummer night times

Midsummer night dreams I recall

But the girls in their summer
dresses

I remember most of all



I remember sad September

Dying summers brave display

And one sweet girl in her summer dress

Who softly swiftly slipped away
