Indian Summer

Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald

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



You are here to watch over

A 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

You old Indian summer
