"The summer wind, came blowin in - from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind"
There is a change in the air. Happens every year around this time, yet it still takes us by surprise when we feel it. The nights are becoming cooler. The mornings darker. The maples by the wetlands have already begun to change their color, and the dew on the grass stays longer in the mornings.
Things are changing.
It's a long way to Memorial Day. (sigh).

English lyrics Johnny Mercer
Best known version is by Frank Sinatra.
"The summer wind, came blowin in - from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, to the summer wind
The autumn wind, and the winter wind - have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind"
