Wasn't the Summer Short? (Ruth Lyons) - Johnny Mathis

Wasn’t the summer short?

Didn’t it seem to fly?

Where are the nights we thought we’d find

Our love under summer skies?

Didn’t that careless moon

Forget to find us?

Didn’t the month of June

Fail utterly to remind us that…

Autumn comes all too soon

Midsummer madness dies

Nothing is quite the same when leaves

Turn gold 'neath September skies

Why did we let this magic time go by?

Wasn’t the summer short?

Didn’t it fly?
