Summer Of My Life Lyrics

She comes here everyday
This little lady with hair of grey
And she just smiles and shuffles
On her way
Through these hospital corridors
She walks along these lonely floors
To a bed
Where a old man use to lay
Im in the summer of my life
And a old man use to say
Im in the summer of my life
Ive seen the good times
I've seen the strife
Ive just been under the surgeans knife
Please don't cry my darling wife
He came here a year ago
And the drs didn't know
If the time for him to go
Was near
But when it came
And he went to sleep
She prayed the lord
His soul to keep
And as she closed her eyes to weep
It seemed that she could hear
Im in the summer of my life
Ive seen the good times
Ive seen the strife
Ive just been under the surgeons knife
Please don't cry my darling wife
She'll sit there for many hours
And repeat her marriage vowls
And place it there the sweetest flowers in bloom
She sits by that empty bed
Her weary eyes are wet and red
And the words that he once said
Still echo through the room
Im in the summer of my life
Ive seen the good times
Ive seen the strife
Ive just been under the surgeons knife
Please don't cry my darling wife
Course you and I we've had some fun
And our love has touched everyone
And in the light of the moon and sun
You and i have been as one.
