Lyrics: [Verse 1] We met beside the orchard When the apple trees were white You wore a faded blue dress In the early evening light We walked beyond the river Where the grass grew tall and wild And every little silence Ended with your smile [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the days were slow And the sky stayed blue And I thought the world Was only me and you [Chorus] In the summer we knew Every road led home Every field was golden We were never alone In the summer we knew Love was simple and true And the years cannot take The summer I spent with you [Verse 2] We danced outside the village When the fiddles played till dawn You rested on my shoulder As the final song came on But autumn found us quickly And your family moved away I watched your carriage disappear At the ending of the day [Bridge] Maybe love is not forever Maybe time must have its due But some seasons live inside us Like the summer we once knew [Final Chorus] In the summer we knew Every road led home Every field was golden We were never alone In the summer we knew Love was simple and true And the years cannot take The summer I spent with you [Outro] The apple trees are blooming And I still think of you Subscribe for more romantic Irish folk, emotional Celtic ballads, and songs about love, memory, villages, and seasons gone by. #TheSummerWeKnew #IrishFolk #LoveSong
