Lyrics
- Sweetheart, Sweetheart, dry those eyes of blue
I’ll come back to you with a heart so true
Springtime’s coming, birds will soon be humming
Sweetest songs of love to you
Dear heart, dear heart, tell me why you sigh
Parting time is nigh, I must say goodbye
How I yearn and long for my return
To you my love, with heart so true
Chorus
Summertime, Summertime
We will be together, in sunny weather
Down the lane, once again
All the World in rhyme
Summertime, Summertime
Wedding bells will chime
All will be sunny, peaches, cream and honey
In the Summertime
- Sweetheart, Sweetheart, in the twilight glow
Where the roses grow I will whisper low
Loves sweet story told in all its glory
Where the waters gently flow
Dear heart, dear heart, ‘neath the moonlit sky
We must say good-bye, night birds sing on high
In the trees, they sing their melodies
And seem to know I love you so
