Summertime Love

[GIDEON BRIGGS]
I've been told, I've been told
By the wise and the old
Something good I'm supposed to remember
If my first love I found in the warmth of July
It'll cool in the nip of September
Now they point to the skies, do the old and the wise
They speak of a chill in the air
And they wait while they're nudgin' me over to
The pretty little ladies in the square

But I don't care
For still, I love
My summertime love
Still I love the kissing and the codding
Still I love my summertime love
With a heart still summertime true
Still I love my summertime love
Still I want her walking close beside me
Still I love my summertime love

Let the seasons change as they do
Have the chilly autumn wind blow in through my window
Chilly autumn wind blow in my door
Chilly autumn wind blow down my chimney
And up through the crack in the floor

[ENSEMBLE]
Let it blow until he finds
His summertime love

[GIDEON BRIGGS, (ENSEMBLE)]
I love you (Love you)
Love you (Love you)

[ENSEMBLE]
All the kissing and the codding

[GIDEON BRIGGS (ENSEMBLE)]
There it is, plain as daylight (His summertime love)
Where my heart's still summertime true
Heart's still summertime true (Heart's still summertime true)
