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
