Em B5
The summer smiles, the summer knows,
Em7 Em6
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes;
Am Am7
The summer smoothes the restless sky,
Am7 F#m B4/7 B7
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie.
E Am6
The summer knows, the summer's wise,
E Bm7
She sees the doubts within your eyes,
A7M Bbm5-/7
And so she takes her summer time
G# C#m7 G# D7
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger,
G Cm7 G C#7
Twists the world 'round her summer finger,
E F#m7 B4/7 B7
Lets you see the wonder of it all.
E F#m
And if you've learned your lesson well,
E Am6
There's little more for her to tell;
Em B5 F#m7 B7 Em E5 F#m7 B7 E9
One last carress it's time to dress for fall.
