People come to see you When you don’t wake up In the summertime People come to see you When you don’t wake up In the summertime We get so high We get so high Why you sleeping in On this lovely summer morning? Sun it is shining Oh it is shining People come and tell me It’s a pretty dress That I picked for you to wear Come and ask me how your makeup looks so fresh And the way they did your hair They kiss your eyes They kiss your eyes and touch your hand And the lilac flowers laying by your feet Remind me of those shoes you used to wear Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh I come see you in the summertime Don’t know if you know I’m there Bring you lots of flowers in the summertime Picture flowers in your hair I lay them down Cover the ground With the colors I remember that you loved That summer Back when we were twenty When we were twenty When we were twenty-one
