As recorded by CHICK BULLOCK
with JOHNNY HAMP & HIS ORCH.:


Summer breezes (Mmmm-Mmmm)
Birds and beeses (Mmmm-Mmmm)
With you on my mind, I find
I can't write the words

Eyes of blue (Lah-lah-lah-lee)
Red lips too (Lah-lah-lah-lee)
With you on my mind, I find
I can't write the words

I used to dream of a Spanish castle
It smacks of real love, a Spanish castle
I got a rhyme for a Spanish castle
Grass'll grow around the castle

Stars above you (Dah-dah-dee)
Dear, I love you (Dah-dah-dee)
With you on my mind, I find
I can't write the words

As recorded by MILDRED HUNT:


Bring me a pen and bring me some ink
And I'll put in rhyme
What I really think about you
Now, love songs just flow right out of my pen
Ah, but this one will be
The greatest of them, that is true
With you for my inspiration

Summer breezes, ah, let me see
Birds and beeses, gosh oh gee
With you on my mind, I find
I can't write the words

Babbling brooks, now give me time
Shady nooks, but I can't find a rhyme
For with you on my mind, I find
I can't write the words

I used to dream of a Spanish castle
It smacks of real love, a Spanish castle
I've got a rhyme for a Spanish castle
Grass is gonna grow all around that castle

Stars above you are stars of love
Dear, I love you, but I, I guess I'm stuck
With you on my mind, I find
I can't write the words
