I catch a word of the universal rhyme
In the summertimes in the summertimes
The river flows and i wonder where it goes
Only heaven knows only heaven knows

Inpatient with the human race
Still nature shows a friendly face
And i believe in paradise on earth

But then tonight i had this dream
So horrible i had to scream
I saw the earth naked like the moon
Naked like the moon

(piano)

Inpatient with the human race
Still nature shows a friendly face
And i believe in paradise on earth

But when i saw the news today
So horrible i had to pray
Don't leave the earth naked like the moon
Naked like the moon
