I catch a word of the universal rhyme

in the summertimes in the summertimes

The river flows and I wonder where it goes

only heaven knows only heaven knows

Inpatient with the human race

still Nature shows a friendly face

And I believe in paradise on Earth

But then tonight I had this dream

so horrible I had to scream

I saw the Earth naked like the Moon

naked like the Moon

(Piano)

Inpatient with the human race

still Nature shows a friendly face

And I believe in paradise on Earth

But when I saw the News today

so horrible I had to pray

Don't leave the Earth naked like the Moon

naked like the Moon
