The Summer Knows (Un été 42)

The summer smiles, the summer knows And unashamed she sheds so close The summer smooth, the restless kind And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie The summer knows, the summer's wise She sees the doubt within your eyes And so she takes her summer times Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger Twists the world from her summer finger Lets you see the wonder of it all The summer smiles, the summer knows And unashamed she sheds so close The summer smooth, the restless kind And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie And if you learned your lesson well There's little more for her to tell One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
