Our Bright Summer Days Are Gone

Stephen Foster

5 -4  4   4   4   5
I re-mem-ber the days

 6  6    -6   7    6
of our youth and love,

 -5   5 -4    -6
When we sat 'neath

-6    6   -5    5
the green oak tree;

  5  -4    4      4    5 
When thy smiles were bright

 6  6   -6   7   6
as the skies a-bove

-5   5   -4
And thy voice

 -6   6  6  -5 -4  4
made mu-sic un-to me.

 5  -5   6    7    7
Nev-er more will come

  -7  -7  -6  -7  7    6
those hap-py, hap-py hours,

  -5   5 -4  -6   6      -5    5
Whiled a-way in life's young dawn;

chorus

 5  -5   6    7     7
Nev-er more we'll roam

 -7    -7    -6    -7  7   6
thro' pleas-ures' sun-ny bow'rs,

-5   5    -4      -6
For our bright, bright

 6   6    -5 -4    4
sum-mer days are gone.

verse 2
I remember the flow're that we cull'd by day,
And the vows that we made by night;
I remember the brook where we loved to stray
In the bygone days of our delight.

verse 3
How we joyed when we met, and griev'd to part,
How we sighed when the night came on;
How I longed for thee in my dreaming heart,
Till the first fair coming of the dawn.
