indian summer glenn miller written by victor herbert and al dubin as recorded by the glenn miller orchestra on november 5th 1939 with ray eberle summer you old indian summer you re the tear that comes after june times laughter you see so many dreams that don t come true dreams we fashioned when summertime was new you are here to watch over some heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken you re the ghost of a romance in june going astray fading too soon that s why i say farewell to you indian summer
