Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Summer of My Dreams (David Mallett)
In the X00232 shade of this old 320003-320033 tree
3X002X-3X003X In the X02030 sum- X02020 -mer XX22XX-XX20XX of my X00232 dreams
By the X24432 tall grass, by the XO2220 wild rose
Where the 32003X trees dance X00232 as the 022000 wind X02020 blows X02020-X02030-XXXXX0

As the X00232 days go, 3X0033 oh, X00232 so 3X0002 slow- 3X0000 –ly 3X003X-XXX02X-XXX03X
As the X02030sun shines, X02022 oh, X02020so XX0230 ho- XXX23X -ly
X02020 On X02000 the XX023X good XX0232 and XX0230 gra- XXX23X -cious 3X0033 green XXXX2X-XXXX0X
In the XX0232 summer X02020of my XX0232 dreams 3X000X-XX0232

By the banks of this old stream
In the summer of my dreams
By the deep pool where the fish wait
For the old fool with the wrong bait

There's a field of purple clover
There's a small cloud passing over
And then the rain comes washing clean
On the summer of my dreams

BRIDGE

XX0232 See the 244322 raindrops on the X24432 grass now
Just like 244322 diamonds lying X24432 there
By the 020130 old road where I X0222X pass now
There's a 020130 twilight in the X0222X air X02020

And as the sun sets down before me
I see my true love waiting for me
Standing by the back porch screen
In the summer of my dreams

In the shade of this old tree
In the summer of my dreams
By the tall grass, by the wild rose
Where the trees dance as the beans grow

As the days go, oh, so slowly
As the sun shines, oh, so holy
On the good and gracious green
On the summer of my dreams
