Another really nice one, LeBert!!  You're knocking 'em out for sure!! :)

This is a cover version of the track 'The Summer Knows' written by Michel Legrand for the movie "Summer of '42".
I was inspired to record this by the version by George Robert from the album 'George Robert plays Michel Legrand'.
Alto sax and programming by Tim Dobson.

The Summer Knows

Larry Kendrick: chords, guitar.
David Gardiner: lyrics.
Bert Smit: composition, vocals, rhythm guitar, bass, drums, string arrangement.

I know we like each other
In a comfortable way
And you’re lovely to come home to
And I’m scared to go away

But this isn’t how we started
You know as well as me
We’ve soared above the mountains
Now we’re lazing by the sea

We’ve got to stop pretending
That it’s like it was before
When love becomes a habit
Is it worth it any more?

We mustn’t blame each other
For whatever has gone wrong
We just listened to the poets -
Every sentimental song

We believed them when they told us
That our love would never end
Now we each have lost a lover
And we each have gained a friend

They said we are great together
And in that they told us true
There is nothing wrong with me
And there’s nothing wrong with you

We’ve been to somewhere magic
That we never will forget
That we couldn’t stay forever
Is our single sad regret
