I want to pretend that everything is fine
Even though we don’t have a dime
My hope is unwavering
And I will sing my truth
Every time I look at you
Your destiny is planned my child
I leave you in His hands
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Well, your daddy's rich and your mama’s good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and you're gonna take to the sky
But till that morning, you know that nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
I will always stand by…
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Well, your daddy's rich, Oh, and your mama is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry (Don’t you cry)
One of these mornings hey, you are gonna rise, oh you are gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings and you are gonna take to the sky
Oh but till that morning, you know that nothing is gonna harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
