[Intro]
[Verse]
Off to town more tarmac and brown
The dappled day hums a greeting
Step by step to furrow the frown
As one small joy comes now fleeting
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Verse]
The child within or man without
Both might the spark of colour start
From every age to hereabout
Each street a stage to stir the heart
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Verse]
The sunshine season is the time
When pleated peacocks gaily stroll
And turn tired eyes to fruity wine
And every taste to swell the soul
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Break]
[Verse]
Off to town more tarmac and brown
The dappled day hums a greeting
Step by step to furrow the frown
As one small joy comes now fleeting
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Verse]
The child within or man without
Both might the spark of colour start
From every age to hereabout
Each street a stage to stir the heart
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Verse]
The sunshine season is the time
When pleated peacocks gaily stroll
And turn tired eyes to fruity wine
And every taste to swell the soul
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Chorus]
No bird nor flower can the day quite bless
As a woman walking in a summer dress
[Outro]
