Текст песни Summer Of My Life - Archie Roach

She comes here everyday
This little lady with hair of grey
And she just smiles and shuffles
On her way

Through these hospital corridors
She walks along these lonely floors
To a bed
Where an old man used to lay
And an old man used to say

I'm in the summer of my life
I've seen the good times
I've seen the strife
I've just been under the surgeon's knife
Please don't cry, my darling wife

He came here a year ago
And the doctors didn't know
If the time for him to go
Was near

But when it came
And he went to sleep
She prayed the Lord
His soul to keep
And as she closed her eyes to weep
It seemed that she could hear

I'm in the summer of my life
I've seen the good times
I've seen the strife
I've just been under the surgeon's knife
Please don't cry, my darling wife

She'll sit there for many hours
And repeat her marriage vows
And place it there, the sweetest flowers in bloom
She sits by that empty bed
Her weary eyes are wet and red
And the words that he once said
Still echo through the room

I'm in the summer of my life
I've seen the good times
I've seen the strife
I've just been under the surgeon's knife
Please don't cry, my darling wife

'Cause you and I, we've had some fun
And our love has touched everyone
And in the light of the moon and sun
You and I have been as one
