Our love's a song, our love's the only love
Our love's a ribbon 'round the mornin' sun
Kiss me once sweetly by the garden wall
It might last the summer
It might last the summer
It might last the summer
Then be gone by fall

Our love is fleeting, our love's flying away
It could last forever or could last a day
Out in the meadow and the shadows tall
It might last the summer
It might last the summer
It might last the summer
Then be gone by fall

I'll be a river and a-roving hie
And I'll be your lover when the moon is high
Above the timbers where the wolves, they call
It might last the summer
Might last the summer
It might last the summer
Then be gone by fall

It might last the summer
Might last the summer
It might last the summer
Then be gone
