It was kept from the top of the chart by Sonny and Cher's hit, "I Got You Babe." However, it went to number one on the Billboard easy listening chart for three weeks in August 1965. The song was covered by Livingston Taylor in 1993 on his album Good Friends. Lewis credited the success of the record to both producer Snuff Garrett and to the short length of the song.

[instrumental with whistling]
Walk along the lake with someone new
Have yourself a summer fling or two
But remember I'm in love with you and
Save your heart for me

When the summer moon is on the rise
And you're dancin' under starlit skies
Please don't let stars get in your eyes, just
Save your heart for me

When you're all alone, far away from home
Someone's gonna flirt with you-ou
I won't think it's wrong if you play along
Just don't fall for someone new

When the autumn winds begin to blow
And the summertime is long ago
You'll be in my arms again I know, so
Save your heart for me
Darlin', save your heart for me

brief instrumental with whistling-first two lines of a verse
Please remember I'm in love with you so
Save your heart for me
Darlin', save your heart for me
