Girls in summer dresses
Sighing summer sighs
Girls with warm and willing smiles
Why do you pass me by?
You wouldn t think so to see me now
But I was loved once
You wouldn t think so to see me now
But someone really cared
Many summers ago that was, many summers ago
When the trees were budding and the sun was high
Nobody passed me by
You wouldn t think so to see me now
But I was wise once
You wouldn t think so to see me now
But I thought I knew it all
Many summers ago that was, many summers ago
When the hills reached out to the top of the sky
Nobody passed me by
Imagine me, the bachelor of hearts
The last one to leave the ball
Imagine me, with the world in my arms
Then summer turned to fall
You wouldn t think so to see me now
But I was young once
You wouldn t think so to see me now
But I was a little boy
Many summers ago that was, many summers ago
When the days were warm and my hopes were high
And I didn t know how to cry
And nobody, nobody ever passed me by
