How the Summer has fallen!



Oh, how the Summer has fallen.
The leaves have fallen too.
The flowers turn to decay under the falling leaves.
Now fall has approached.
In the summer where we danced and play the fall is where we sit and stay.
Oh sorrow,sorrow.
There the sun goes sinking behind the snow covered hills.
We watch the icicles form intricate patterns for the sun to shine through.
As i sit in my room now I watch, I watch, and I watch.
Waiting and hoping for summer to come again.

And it does.
The icicles melt away and happiness is present again.
Summer, oh how I love thee.
The birds come out singing,
the children in bless,
Oh how the summer has fallen, how the summer has fallen
