Indian Summer 
Glenn Miller
Written by Victor Herbert and Al Dubin. 

As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on November 5th, 1939 with Ray Eberle. 
(The melody was actually written in 1919 as a piano piece subtitled "An American Idyll", 
lyrics were 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!"
