Indian Summer

Tommy Dorsey

INDIAN SUMMERTommy Dorsey- words by Al Dubin, Music by Victor Herbert- written in 1919 as a piano piece subtitled "An American Idyll"- lyrics added in 1939Summer, you old Indian SummerYou're the tear that comes after June time's laughterYou see so many dreams that don't come trueDreams we fashioned when Summertime was newYou are here to watch overSome heart that is brokenBy a word that somebody left unspokenYou're the ghost of a romance in June going astrayFading too soon, that's why I say"Farewell to you Indian Summer"-----------------------------------------------------
