Lyrics
When it’s summertime in Heidelberg
There’s beauty everywhere
All the trees are dressed in their Sunday best
And the brass band plays in the square
Ev’ry day is like a holiday
Strolling underneath the sun
All the frauleins wear flowers in their hair
With a smile to spare for ev’ryone
Interlude
The fragrant breeze, the linden trees
The promenade where lovers stray
But have a care, or someone there
May steal your heart away
Strange things happen on a summer night
When the bells begin to chime
It could happen to someone just like you
Down in Heidelberg in summertime
Sung here by James Pitt-Payne:
