It's almost time to say "so long"
To green grass and leaves on trees
and the welcome coolness of their shade
Almost time to say "hello"
To wheatfields' golden sheaves
It's almost time to say "adieu"
To bluest sky and snow-white clouds
and the quiet coolness of the morning
Almost time to say "hello"
To next year's fields being plowed
It's almost time to say "good-bye"
To flower's final, frantic showing
and the soft coolness of the evening
Almost time to say "hello"
To the end of summer mowing
It's almost time to say "farewell"
To summer's fun-filled active days
And the afternoon's cooling showers
Almost time to say "hello"
To autumn's colorful displays
