Summer Of My Dreams Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

In the shade of this old tree 

In the summer of my dreams 

By the tall grass, by the wild rose 

Where the trees dance and the wind blows 

As the days go oh so slowly 

And the sun shines oh so holy 

On the good and gracious green 

In the summer of my dreams 

By the banks of this old stream 

In the summer of my dreams 

By the deep pool where the fish wait 

For the old fool with the wrong bait 

There's a field of purple clover 

There's a small cloud passing over 

And then the rain comes washing clean 

On the summer of my dreams 

See the raindrops on the grass now 

Just like diamonds lying there 

By the old road where I pass now 

There's a twilight in the air 

And as the sun sets down before me 

I see my true love waiting for me 

Standing by the back porch screen 

In the summer of my dreams 

In the shade of this old tree 

In the summer of my dreams 

By the tall grass, by the wild rose 

Where the trees dance as the beans grow 

As the days go oh so slowly 

As the sun shines oh so holy 

On the good and gracious green 

In the summer of my dreams
