I thought I'd spend a week or two where we went last year
The little cottage and the lake that we held so dear
But the trees all seemed much greener, much greener than this year
Thinkin' about last summer when my love was here
And the stars all lost their glitter. They were so full of cheer
Thinkin' about last summer when my love was here

Even the old caretaker who brought us from the train says this year just hasn't, it hasn't been the same
And the winds across the meadow seem to hide a tear
Thinkin' about last summer when my love was here

It hasn't been the same
It hasn't been the same
