Summer Side Of Life lyrics

He came down through fields of green

On the summer side of life

His love was ripe

There were no illusions

On the summer side of life

Only tenderness

And if you saw him now

You'd wonder why he would cry

The whole day long

There was young girls everywhere

On the summer side of life

They talked all night

To the young men that they knew

On the summer side of life

Goin' off to fight

And if you saw them now

You'd wonder why they would cry

The whole day long

He came down through fields of green

On the summer side of life

He prayed all night

Then he walked into a house

Where love had been misplaced

His chance to waste

And if you saw him now

You'd wonder why he would cry

The whole day long

And if you saw him now

You'd wonder why

And if you saw him now

You'd wonder why

And if you saw him now

You'd wonder why
