the summer knows

sinatra, frank

the summer smiles

the summer knows

and unashamed

she sheds her clothes. the summer smoothes the restless sky

and lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie. the summer knows

the summer's wise

she sees the doubts within your eyes

and so she takes her summertime

tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger

twist the world around her summer finger. lets you see the wonder of it all

and if you learned your lesson well

there's little more for her to tell

one last caress

it's time to dress for fall.
