Summertime Dream Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Where the road runs down by the Butternut Grove 

To old Bill Skinners Stream 

Do tell at the noonday bell 

It's time for a summertime dream 

In a lunch pail town, in a one horse way 

You can live like a king and queen 

Let's steal away in the noonday sun 

It's time for a summertime dream 

Birds in all creation 

Will be twitterin' in the trees 

And down below's a pond I know 

You can swim in it if you please 

And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down 

You can see what chivalry means 

Let's steal away in the noonday sun 

It's time for a summertime dream 

On a trip on down to wonderland 

In love among the flowers 

Where time gets lost with no straw boss 

Tallyin' up the hours 

Where the road runs down by the Butternut Grove 

To old Bill Skinners Stream 

Do tell at the noonday bell 

It's time for a summertime dream 

Birds in all creation 

Will be twitterin' in the trees 

And down below's a pond I know 

You can swim in it if you please 

So if you come 'round when the mill shuts down 

You can see what chivalry means 

Let's steal away in the noonday sun 

It's time for a summertime dream 

It's time for a summertime dream 

It's time for a summertime dream
