Shirley Horn – Summer (Estaté)

Willows weep
Night breeze rustles summer leaves
Quiet rivers sleep -
In the spring I dreamt of you;
Summer came and I fell in love with you;
By the fall I would have died for you.
I swore on the heavens and the angels
That my heart belonged to you.
In the darkest tunnel my light would have found you;
If only we could have made it through the winter. -
Oh, what summers we’ve spent together New York! Your city nights are vibrant and bustling with life. Your bright lights intrigue my sense of sight, and capture my imagination! I will take a stroll through central park in the warmth of the sun, and enjoy the vastness of the lush greenery. I will taste of your expansive cuisine and drink to my heart’s delight! I will walk the city blocks and recapture the fond memories of the past. I will leave the cares of the world behind, and jump on the 2 line, to look down on familiar city streets and reminisce. O New York, you are the city that I truly miss! Let me immerse myself in your culture and find myself again; being with you in the summer is like reconnecting with an old and trusted friend.
