When the Moon was all aglow
When you said you loved me so
Sweetheart, how was I to know
'Twas only a summer night's dream

'Neath the spell of starlit skies
I found heaven in your eyes
Sadly now I realise
'Twas only a summer night's dream

Summer love
Sweet as the roses in June
Summer love
Faded and withered all too soon

Now beneath the autumn sky
All alone I wonder why
Your good night was our goodbye
'Twas only a summer night's dream
