Summertime Promises Songtext
von Jack Jones

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 a 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

End
