  6    -6  7  -7   6     -6  7   -7  8   -7  -6
There's a summer place where it may rain or storm,
 -7  -8   8  -7   -6   -7   -8  6  -6   7  -7   6
Yet I'm safe and warm, for within that summer place,
 -6   7    -7    8  -7 -6 
Your arms reach out to me
 -7 -8   8   -7  -6   -7  -8   7
and my heart is free from all care. 

 -7  -8  7     -7   -8  7  -7  8    -7  
For it knows there are no gloomy skies
 -6    6     -6    7   6
when seen through the eyes
-5   5    -5  -6    -7     8   -8
of those who are blessed with love.

 3  -3     4   -4 -6  6 -6 7  -7   6  
And the sweet secret of a summer place,
-6  -7   -7  8-7  -6   -7    -8  8  -7   -6
is that it's anywhere where two people share
 -7   -8    7     -7   -8    7     -7    -8   7
all their hopes, all their dreams, all their love.

(Above Midi in Bb has a 30 measure instrumental here and ends with:)

 3  -3     4   -4 -6  6 -6 7  -7   6  
And the sweet secret of a summer place,
-6  -7   -7  8-7  -6   -7    -8  8  -7   -6
is that it's anywhere where two people share
 -7   -8    7     -7   -8    7     -7    -8   7    -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6
all their hopes, all their dreams, all their love.

Letterman version ends with:
   6    -6 7  -7   6     -6   7 -7    8  -7   -6
There's a summer place where it may rain or storm
 -7  -8   8   -7  -6  -7  -8   7
yet I'm safe and warm in your arms.
-7  -8    7    -7  -8    7    -7  -8    7
In your arms.  In your arms.  In your arms. (and fade)
