The Green Leaves Of Summer - Dusty Springfield

Written by：Dimitri Tiomkin/Paul Francis Webster

A time to be reaping

A time to be sowing

The green leaves of summer

Are calling me home

'T 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

A time just for planting

A time to be courting

A girl of your own

'T was so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

And to stand by your wife

At the moment of birth

A time just for planting

A time just for planting

A time just for living

A place for to die

'T was so good to be young then

To be close to the earth

Now the green leaves of summer

Are calling me home

Yes the green leaves of summer

Are calling me home
