Gail Lloyd - Hot Summer Lily lyrics

In the heat of summer When flowers fear to grow There's one a-bloomin' That's never bloomed before Out in the garden Growin' wild and free A big summer lily And she's a sight to see Hot summer lily Flower so fair And with your beauty None can compare Nature's fiery furnace You've made your home In the parched summer soil You thrive alone Rarer than an orchid Wilder than a rose She waves to me Everytime the wind blows Pretty as a picture Standin' straight and tall Simple country beauty The fairest of them all Hot summer lily Flame of my heart I fell for you Right from the start You're somethin' special You mean the world to me Oh hot summer lily Sweet mystery Oh when August's over You'll have to go Through the long seasons I'll miss you so But I know come summer You'll reappear Oh hot summer lily I'll see you next year Hot summer lily Maybe next year
