Summertime Lyrics - The Nearness Of You - Helen Merrill

It's summertime and the living is easy 

Fish are jumping and the cotton is high 

Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking 

Hush, little baby don't you cry 

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry 

No no no no 

Don't cry, don't cry 

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing 

You spread your wings and take to the sky 

But until that morning there is nothing can harm you 

With your daddy and mommy standing by 

They are standing by, I know, don't cry 

Summertime, summertime, summertime 

and the living is, living is easy 

Fish are, I know the fish are jumping 

and cotton is so high 

Your daddy is so, so rich and your mama good- 

She had to be good-looking 

So hush, little baby, don't you cry 

Don't you cry, no no, don't cry 

No need to cry, don't cry, don't cry 

Summertime, summertime
