The Summer Will Always Remind Me of You By David Kaminker
Em                         D                Em
She wrote me a letter just the other day

Em                              D       G    Em
She said, Dear Dave, it’s been too long

Em                                                 D              A
Well, she didn’t really know what else she should say

A7                                                Em
But the way she sung it was like a familiar song.

Em                            D             Em
She wanted to tell me about her day

Em              D       G    Em
As if, not much was new

Em                                         D                   A
She was thinking of me in her bed where she lay

A7                             Em
The way that she used to do.

Em                      D           Em
It’s been years since we were there

Em                       D                 G             Em
We both needed to leave that feeling of home

Em            D              A
Lately, I hear that she hasn’t

A7                                       Em
But I know that I’ve been sleeping alone

Em                         D                 Em
In the woods of a green mountain farm

Em           D     G   Em
I owe nobo—dy rent

Em                         D                 A
I’ve been working all day for my meals

A7                            Em
And a place to pitch my tent.

Em                    D              Em
I just had to go somewhere new

Em                D   G         Em
Try not to live in the past

Em                       D                            A
But when her letter came here too

A7                            Em
Our distance shortened fast.

                   G                                     A
She said, ps, there are some poems on the back for the season

A7                                             Em
The summer will always remind me of you.

Em               D                Em
I read those poems and I smiled

Em                          D           G         Em
Cause soon the leaves begin to fall

Em                                  D             A
And by the time the first snowflakes are fluttering down

A7                           Em
Will I be on her mind at all?

Em                     D                         Em
And when the branches begin to bud

Em                         D            G          Em
Ants again are crawling on the walls

Em              D                                 A
Our bare feet are caked with mud

A7                                Em
And maybe she’ll give me call.

Em                             D                                 Em
So, Sweetheart, I know since I’m your summer

Em                       D             G          Em
I shouldn’t be so mangled and so blue

Em                D                                 A
I could be happy being all of summer

A7                                            Em
It’s just that everything reminds me of you.
