song for summer
by harry

this heat plays on me
plays on my heartstrings
summer summer
a month of love
summer summer
a month of pain
rain come and wash
away all the stains

My dear Harman,

One of my favourites:

"Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

"Oh, your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

"One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky

"But until that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy standing by

"Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

"Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry."

George Gershwin, Porgy & Bess (1935).

You can find details about this lullaby from the Net.

Warm regards,
- Joe.
