Summer of ’42 (the Summer Knows)
Michel Legrand, Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman
[Verse 1]
The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand, on which you lie
[Verse 2]
The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summertime
[Verse 3]
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all
[Chorus]
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress, for fall
[Chorus]
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress, for fall
