Wind wind blow oooooh oooh blow wind wind When the cool summer breeze Sends a chill down my spine And I long for my love's sweet caress I know she is gone but my love lingers on In a dream that the wind brings to me I remember as we kissed in the cool summer breeze As she lay warm and tender in my arms Darlin, when a star falls I wish for you; And darlin', when I see lover's making love I long for you ... And when the sun and the stars are shinnng above the mountains and the valleys, Then darlin I look for you; And even until the heavens above can no longer shine, Even until then I shall still love you. I know she is gone but my love it lingers on In a dream that the wind brings to me.
