I had a dream the other day
You were mine and here to stay
I awoke and you were gone
I began to sing this song
You were my summer girl
Beautiful summer girl
You were my summer girl
Sweet baby sweet
Hair of henna heart of gold
You were young and I was bold
Call me sweetheart in my ear
Say the words I love to hear
Across the ocean far away
I left you on a summer day
No, I didn't say goodbye
Left you there to sit and cry
Lovers come, lovers go
Where you are, I don't know
I doubt we'll meet again
I think about you now and then
You were my summer girl
Beautiful summer girl
You were my summer girl
Sweet baby sweet
You were my summer girl
Beautiful summer girl
You were my summer girl
Sweet baby sweet
You were my summer girl
Beautiful summer girl
You were my summer girl
Sweet baby sweet
You were fun when you were mine
In the lovely summer time
Now it's over now it's done
For awhile we had some fun
You were my summer girl
Beautiful summer girl
You were my summer girl
Sweet baby sweet
You were my German girl
Beautiful German girl
You were my German girl
Sweet baby sweet
