Summertime Promises
Jimmy Van Heusen, Sammy Cahn
Those leafy lanes we walked through hand in hand
The lazy beach where we just tanned and tanned
They're gone just like the lovely plans we planned
Summertime promises that's all
The Ferris wheel that took us to the moon
Has brought us back to earth too soon, too soon
What we called love I guess was only June
Summertime promises that's all
Only fools trust in holiday romances
Only fools cling to summer souvenirs
We were fools and like fools we took our chances
It was the loveliest summer in years
It's over, still it seems like yesterday
You said you'd care forever, come what may
I'm still in love with you, but like they say
Summertime promises
Summertime promises
Seldom come true in the fall
