Green Leaves of Summer

Green Leaves of Summer - The Brothers Four (四兄弟)

A time to be reaping

A time to be sowing

The green leaves of summer

Are calling me home

It was so good to be young then

In the season of plenty

When the catfish

Were jumping

As high as the sky

A time just for planting

And a time just for plowing

A time to be courtin'

Courtin' a girl of your own

It was so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

And to stand by your wife

At the moment of birth

It was so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

Now the green leaves of summer

Are calling me home

It was so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

Now the green leaves of summer

Are calling me home
