[Verse 1]
               G             Am           G
The summer was sweet and the flowers were blooming
    C           F          C          G
The wind was as gentle and sweet as a kiss
    C              F              Am           G
The great northern lights danced above us till morning
    C               F            C
The stars were like diamonds, we each made our wish

The mountains were green and they climbed to the heavens
    C          F         C           G
The rivers ran sparkling down to the sea
     C            F              Am              G
Your laugh like a bell filled my heart with such gladness
    C               F          C
Our songs they were happy, our voices were free

[Verse 3]
                 G        Am          G
We built a green bower of willows and roses
C           F             C           G
Sang of our pleasures and sang of our woes
    C             F                Am           G
How could we have known this would be your last summer
    C            F          C
How precious the bower, how precious the rose

We'll build a green bower and fish all the rivers

We'll watch the stars fall and we'll smile once again
