- 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"
