The Long, Hot Summer

The long, hot summer
Seems to know every time you're near
And the touch of a breeze
Gently stirs all the trees
And a bird wants to please my ear

The long, hot summer
Seems to know what a flirt you are
Seems to know your caress
Isn't mine to possess
How could someone possess a star?

But you may long for me
Long before the fall
Long before the winds announce
That winter's come to call

And meanwhile, I'll court you
And meanwhile, I'll kiss you
Meanwhile, my lonely arms
Will hold you strong

And meanwhile
The long, hot summer
Slowly moves along
Oh, so slowly moves along
