Lyrics Midsummer Dream - Mary Hopkin

Delaney and Jessica lived down the lane
Played in the puddles and danced in the rain
Run to the gate, see the train going by
A hot air balloon, floating down through the sky

Hang out the washing to sail in the breeze
Sweet summer dresses and blue dungarees
Skateboards and bicycles ride up and down
A boat on the river, a stroll into town

Far in the future when childhood is done
All of their summers will blend into one
Far in the future when childhood is done
All of their summers will blend into one

Picnics and parasols, midsummer dream
Cucumber sandwiches, strawberries, and cream
Brother and sister and games of pretend
Wish that these long summer days never end

Heavenly magician, the sun casts its spell
Time is suspended and all is well
Twilight descends on the beautiful day
Sleepyheads drifting away
