Susannah: The Trees on the Mountains lyrics

George Gershwin & Carlisle Floyd See albums and popular songs

The trees on the mountains are cold and bare
The summer jus' vanished and left them there
Like a false hearted lover, just like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone

The coals on the hearth have turned grey and sere
The blue flame jus' vanished and left them there
Like a false hearted lover, jest like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone

Come back o summer, come back blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back o lover if jus' fer a day
Turn bleak December once more into May

The road up ahead lies lonely and far
There's darkness around me and not even a star
To show me the way or lighten my heart
Come back o lover I fain would start

The poor baby fox lies all cold in his lair
His mama jus' vanished and left him there
Like a false hearted lover jest like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone

Come back o summer, come back blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back o lover if jus' fer a day
Turn bleak December once more into May

Come back o summer, come back blue flame
My heart wants warmin', my baby a name
Come back o lover if jus' fer a day
Turn bleak December once more into May

Come back! Come back! Come back!
