This was the biggest hit by the British duo Chad & Jeremy, who were sometimes confused with another British duo: Peter & Gordon. The melody bears some resemblance to Buddy Holly's "Words of Love," which was covered by The Beatles the same year. The lyrics and the melody are both upbeat and lushly melancholic. >>
Trees swayin' in the summer breeze Showin' off their silver leaves As we walked by Soft kisses on a summer's day Laughing all our cares away Just you and I Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights Gazing at the distant lights In the starry sky They say that all good things must end some day Autumn leaves must fall But don't you know that it hurts me so To say goodbye to you? Wish you didn't have to go No, no, no, no And when the rain Beats against my windowpane I'll think of summer days again And dream of you They say that all good things must end some day Autumn leaves must fall But don't you know that it hurts me so To say goodbye to you Wish you didn't have to go No, no, no, no And when the rain Beats against my windowpane I'll think of summer days again And dream of you And dream of you
