When I met you, Lord, sir, you were so young Your heart was so willing and full of love Out in the wild country where we were together So happy under the tropical moonlight And are we pleased, darling, just not knowing where we stand Oh, what a lonely summer we had Oh, so sweet, oh, so tender We have been together and now that the summer is all over Oh, love, so I wonder where you've been all summer For me, you didn't say in all summer And now that I've missed you, boy, you have been gone away From me, Lord, all summer And I'll just keep on remembering My lost summer with you So, so long, lost summer Gone away from me So, so long, lost summer Gone away from me So long, lost summer Gone away from me So long, lost summer Gone away from me So long, lost summer Gone away from me So long, lost summer Gone away from me And now you're gone
