Indian Summer

Glenn Miller

Indian Summer Glenn MillerWritten by Victor Herbert and Al Dubin. As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on November 5th, 1939 with Ray Eberle. (The melody was actually written in 1919 as a piano piece subtitled "An American Idyll", lyrics were added in 1939). Summer, you old Indian Summer You're the tear that comes after June time's laughter You see so many dreams that don't come true Dreams we fashioned when summertime was new You are here to watch over Some heart that is broken By a word that somebody left unspoken You're the ghost of a romance in June Going astray, fading too soon... That's why I say, "Farewell to you, Indian Summer!" (Transcribed by Alex Foertsch: [email protected])
