Pleasant as May - Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt

The mid-summer sun shines but dim

The fields try in vain to look gay

But when I was happy with him

December was pleasant as May

There once was a time

He and I picked flowers to braid in my hair

And the songbirds would sing sweet song of love

That was tender and fair

No difference did seasons make

When our love was as warm as the sun

And it mattered not where did the snow

Or green grass kissed the fields where we’d run

Now the mid-summer sun shines but dim

The fields try in vain to look gay

But when I was happy with him

December was pleasant as May

Sweet flowers, sweet birds, and sweet songs

Have now lost their sweetness to me

Forever my darling is gone

And forever heartbroken I’ll be

Now the mid-summer sun shines but dim

The fields try in vain to look gay

But when I was happy with him

December was pleasant as May

The mid-summer sun shines but dim, mmm
