| The shifting clouds o'er me the shifting sands under | D |
| Why need it seem strange | E |
| Why need I feel bitter and why should I wonder | D |

| Down here is the path where we wandered together | D |
| 'Neath the midsummer moon | F |
| Her love was sweet as the sweet summer weather | D |
| And left us as soon | F |
| And the summers go by | C |

| The bathers laugh loud in the surf over yonder | D |
| If one should dive deep | G |
| And rise not no more need he suffer or ponder | D |
| O'er losses or weep | G |
| But sink low and sleep | G |
| While the summers go by | C |
