The Summer Knows
Patty Ascher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smooths the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Lets you see the wonder of her arm?
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of her arms?
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
"The Summer Knows" by Michel Legrand is a wistful and romantic tribute to the warm and carefree days of summer. The first stanza speaks of the summer season personified. The summer season presents itself with a confident smile and effortlessly takes off its clothes, unashamed, much like the freedom and relaxation of the season itself. The second stanza is indicative of the summer's gift of tranquility. It smooths the troubled skies and bestows warmth on the sand as we bask in its glow.
The third stanza contrasts autumn, which is a season of contemplation and preparation for the coming winter months. The summer, as it passes, imparts a lesson to us all, teaching us to appreciate the wonder of nature and beauty of life. Through the simple lyrics, we are reminded of the profound lesson that the summer imparts on us. We must take on life positively and live it to the fullest, despite the worries that may plague us during any season. In the same way that summer fades to fall, life will inevitably come to an end, and thus it's key to savor every beautiful moment.

The summer smiles, the summer knows
Summer brings happiness and knows the joy it brings
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
Summer radiates warmth and does not hold anything back
The summer smooths the restless sky
Summer calms the stormy weather and brings tranquility
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
Summer lovingly heats up the sand on which you bask in the sun
The summer knows, the summer's wise
Summer is knowledgeable and wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
Summer is observant and senses the uncertainty within us
And so she takes her summer time
Summer uses its time to its fullest
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Summer extends its daylight hours and delays the onset of night
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Summer has the world under its control

Summer shows us the beauty and majesty of nature
And if you've learned your lesson well
If we have appreciated and savored summer's offerings
There's little more for her to tell
There isn't much more summer can teach us
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
Summer's last goodbye before we transition to a new season
