Too Many Kisses In The Summer (Bring Too Many Tears In The Fall)

Lyric: Al Dubin & Billy Rose
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1925
Original publisher: Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc.

Verse 1:

Summer is through,
Mary is blue,
All alone and broken-hearted;
Her summer beaus.
Just like the rose,
With the summer-time departed;
Oh, how Mary wants a little kiss,
While she's yearning, she is learning this:

Chorus:

Too many kisses in the summer
Don't mean a thing in the fall;
Falling in love with each newcomer
May get you nowhere at all.
Go on, have your fling,
But you should remember,
There'll be no ring
In November or December;
Too many kisses in the summer
Bring too many tears in the fall.

Verse 2:

Vows made in June,
Broken so soon,
Leave you nothing in November;
Each little lie
Told in July,
Leaves you nothing to remember;
Like the falling autumn leaves of brown,
Mary sees her castles tumbling down:

[Chorus]
