Summer Breeze
Shaw Blades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See the curtains hangin' in the window
In the evenin' on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window
Lets me know everything is alright

()
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walked on up to the doorstep
Through the screen and across the floor

Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer
The jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up
And playing her tune

And I come home
From a hard day's work
And you're waiting there
Not a care in the world

See the smile a-waitin' in the kitchen
Food cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze




Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
