From the Quote of the Week Files; July 7, 2014

Welcome to the Quote of the Week!  This weeks' quotes were inspired by two perfect summer afternoons!

“Summer afternoon—summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” 

Henry James

A Recycled Quote of the Week Classic...

The Summer Wind

The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, so warm and fair - to walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter wind - have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind

Original German lyrics by Hans Bradtke
English lyrics by Johnny Mercer

Wishing you a most BEAUTIFUL summer wherever this may find you!
