INDIAN SUMMER 
 Tommy Dorsey 
 - words by Al Dubin, Music by Victor Herbert 
 - written in 1919 as a piano piece subtitled "An American Idyll" 
 - lyrics added in 1939 
 
 Summer, you old Indian Summer 
 You're the tear that comes after June time's laughter 
 You see so many dreams that don't come true 
 Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new 
 You are here to watch over 
 Some heart that is broken 
 By a word that somebody left unspoken 
 You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray 
 Fading too soon, that's why I say 
 "Farewell to you Indian Summer"
