Let me steal away
Here I'm growing pale
Like the leaves decay
As summer fades away

Let me see the rain
Kiss the window pane
'Neath the tree we wait
Rain won't go away

Shelter from the rain
Lightning strikes again
Shelter from the rain
I'll shelter you
If you'll shelter me again

Let me save a flower
I won't let you fade away
So no jealous shower
Will wash your blaze away
Let me free to steal
Roses while I may
Let me free or else
I might run away. . .
