Tommy Dorsey - Indian Summer lyrics

Indian summer Tommy Dorsey - words by Al Dubin, Music by Victor Herbert - written in 1919 as a piano piece subtitled "An American Idyll" - lyrics added in 1939 Summer, you old Indian Summer You're the tear that comes after June time's laughter You see so many dreams that don't come true Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new You are here to watch over Some heart that is broken By a word that somebody left unspoken You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray Fading too soon, that's why I say "Farewell to you Indian Summer" -------------------------------------------------
