In The Summertime
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love ...
Some other time, that's what you say, when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'Cause you don't want my love.
CHORUS
You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me, than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all lone ...
In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'Cause you don't want my love.
Once upon a time, you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me, but now you don't
You don't want my love ...
Some other guy is takin' up all your time
Now you don't have time for me
You don't want my love.
CHORUS
