The Summery Hill (Children's song)

1.
In a midnight world
lived a wooden girl
in a paper house
with a painted mouse.

 

2.
She would sit and tell
to the witching well
with a face so sad
all the dreams she had.

 

Chorus:
That over the summery hill
would come somebody to love.
That over the summery hill
would come somebody to love.

 

3.
She would make a wreath
out of make- be- leaves;
she would dance on ice
with the fireflies.

 

4.
But her tin toy heart
would begin to smart

when, alone, she'd lay

dreaming of that day.

 

Chorus:
That over the summery hill
would come somebody to love.
That over the summery hill
would come somebody to love.

 

5.
But one magic night
as the sun shone bright
and the young girl danced
with her shadow friend.

 

6.
Then she heard a noise
like a singing voice.
It was growing near
and she glowed with cheer.

 

Chorus:

'Cause over the summery hill
there came somebody to love.
Yes over the summery hill
there came somebody to love.
