DEAN’S DEN - “SUMMER’ GONE I" AND A SHORT "SUMMER’S GONE II"
Summer’s Gone (I)
Summer's gone!!!
Now where'd it go?
Don't look at me
'Cause I don't know!
What about the things I planned to do
And only finished one or two,
I never saw the solstice dawn
I thought I had to "carry on"
I didn't lay out in the sun
And seldom had the time for fun
I was always "on the run"
Still, so much was left undone!
I didn't stop to smell the flowers
And whiled away no idle hours,
I never heard the robin sing
I never had a "summer fling".
Always busy -
To and fro
Now summer's gone
And ... where'd it go?
Summer’s Gone (II)
It won't be long
'Til summer's gone
With just a memory left behind
And when it goes
Well, just like that
I'll miss it one more time!
