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 is rich and your Mama’s good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you oh you are gonna rise up singing
Then you will spread your wings and you are gonna take to the sky
But till that morning, you know, you know, you know that nothin's gonna harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
With Daddy and Your Mammy, standing by….

Chorus Composed by George Gershwin & DuBose Heyward)
