Stephen Sondheim
Girls of Summer
[Verse 1]
The girls of summer
Get burned
They start the summer
Unconcerned
They get undone
By a touch of sun
In June
Plus a touch of the moon
[Verse 2]
The girls of summer
Get fooled
'Cause soon the summer
Heat has cooled
And come September
They can't remember
Why
Things were hot in July
[Bridge]
Not me!
It's too easy to fall—
The moonlit sand
A faraway band
And that's all
Not me!
I don't easily thrill
Never did, never will
[Verse 3]
The end of summer's
At hand
I thought the summer
Was grand
And here I am
With the same undamaged
Heart
That I had at the start
[Outro]
The girls of summer
Forgot to run
The girls of summer
Were bound to lose
The girls of summer
Have all the fun
I have nothing but blues
