The long hot summer
Seems to know every time you're near
And the touch of a breeze gently stirs all the trees
And a bird wants to please my ear

The long hot summer
Seems to know what a flirt you are
Seems to know your caress isn't mine to possess
How could someone possess a star

But you may long for me, long before the Fall
Long before the winds announce that winter's come to call
And meanwhile I'll court you, and meanwhile I'll kiss you
Meanwhile my lonely arms will hold you strong

And meanwhile
The long hot summer slowly moves along
Oh so slowly moves along
