I once knew a girl
Who would hold my hand
In the summer breeze

I once knew a girl
Who always did
Whatever the hell she pleased

I once knew a girl
Who would hold her head high
And look with longing
At the bright blue, summer sky

I once knew a girl
Who said she'd never grow old
But winter winds can be so very cold

But summer is over
And the skies aren't as blue
And all I am left with
Are memories of you

I once knew a young lady
Who tried to stay young
Who would sell her soul
If it would mean more summers of fun

I once knew a young lady
Who smiled the whole day through
It was so contagious
That the smile would spread to you

But summer is over
And the skies aren't as blue
And all I am left with
Are memories of you

I once knew a woman
Who held me tight
And whispered her love songs
In the coldest of nights

I once knew a woman
Who smiled at you
And told you of stories
From a childhood she knew

But summer is over
And the skies aren't as blue
And all I am left with
Are memories of you

I once knew an old lady
Who was kind and who cared
And I will always remember
All the love that she shared

I once knew an angel
Who came to me at last
And now there's no need for winter
We have all the summers of the past

And winter is over
And the skies are so blue
And all you are left with
Is us watching over you

And I know a girl
Who I watch over with pride
And even when shes lonely
She has us by her side

I know a girl
Who is strong and brave
And who I sometimes wish
Would be better behaved

I know a girl
Who will someday grow old
And will tell another
All the stories we told

I know a girl
Who laughs and who cries
And waves back those who love her
Up in the summer skies
