Summer`s Almost Over Lyrics

Summer`s Almost Over lyrics

Summer's almost over and I'm crying but I don't know why

Sentimental old
fool, weeping for this blue, blue sky

And the way the cat is sleeping and
the way the garden grew

Wagging dogs who lick my face and the way I feel
for you



Paddling in the kayaks, with my sister, through the quiet
creek

Moon upon the water and the river breeze upon my cheek

And
the way my Father shuffles with his courage and his cane

And the way
September bluffs and feints till autumn falls again

Oh summer's almost
over and I'm crying but I don't know why



A party for my birthday
and a tractor for my 50 years

Swallows at their bird play spin and dive
above the new mown fields

And a week in Colorado reading books with my
best friend

And the thing I knew I couldn't do and now I know I can



Who could help but welcome autumn and the promise of the winter
snow?

Still there's something sweet and wistful as I watch this lovely
summer go

But the sun is sinking sooner and the weeds have won at
last

With the berries on the bushes and the crickets in the grass

Oh summer's almost over and I'm crying but I don't know why
