Dolly Parton Lyrics
"Pleasant As May"

(Dolly Parton)

The mid summer sun shines
But dim the fields try in vain to look gay
But when I was happy with him
December was pleasant as May.

There once was a time he and I
Picked flowers to braid in my hair
And the songbirds would sing a sweet song
Of love that was tender and fair.

No difference did seasons make
When our love was as warm as the sun
And it mattered not where did the snow
Or green grass kissed the fields where we'd run.

Now the mid summer sun shines
But dim the fields try in vain to look gay
But when I was happy with him
December was pleasant as May.

Sweet flowers, sweet birds and sweet songs
Have now lost their sweetness to me
Forever my darling is gone
And forever heartbroken I'll be.

Now the mid summer sun shines
But dim the fields try in vain to look gay
But when I was happy with him
December was pleasant as May.

The mid summer sun shines but dim...
