I believe this a song by Dave Mallett ut I have been unable to find it. Considering the summer we have just gone through, it would be a good one to have available.

Hi, Eric - here's Dave Mallett's Website: https://davidmallett.com/. I know David Mallett wrote "The Summer of My Dreams," a wonderful song.

The closest I can come to your title is David Ingraham's "I’ll Be Thankful When Summer is Over" - see https://archives.library.umaine.edu/repositories/5/resources/3060

The song seems to have vanished into the aether. None of the Mainers I know, including Tim Sample, have any recall of it.

Looks like you were correct about Ingraham. The story [but not the meter] matches my recall.
