Summertime Please Go Away I watched a leaf gliding to the ground The first one I've seen turning brown Maybe soon more brown leaves will appear And autumn will arrive earlier this year Summertime you're nice, but please surrender To autumn's colorful  delightful splendor Our time to visit mountains scenic sights   Hoping colors will peak during our first night. Next morning we'll walk mountain trails Both hoping to hear singing nightingales If we do, we'll squeeze each other's hand tight Our way of saying, everything is all right. Summertime, please can't you understand We'll welcome you back next year again But summertime please leave earlier this year And allow an early autumn season to appear. Summertime Please Go Away.....
