The very talented Helen at This Thing called Life One Word at a Time told us that : The theme for Song Lyric Sunday on June 19th is “Summer“. Pick a song that makes you think of summer, that has the word in the title or lyrics, or pick one of your own that has nothing to do with the theme. We’re all open to sharing and listening to new, amazing music. Most of all, just enjoy the process.
So which song is most evocative of summer in my mind ? Well there are many in fact too numerous to mention. So I closed my eyes and let my mind slip off to wherever as I thought of summer. The first song that entered my head was Summer Breeze , and it was not the Isley Brother’s version but the beautiful Seals and Croft version I was hearing. The song takes me back to 1972 the year after I got married. Happy carefree days.
So here we are please enjoy!

SUMMER BREEZE
See the curtains hangin’ in the window
In the evenin’ on a Friday night
Little light is shinin’ through the window
Lets me know everything’s 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 awaitin’ in the kitchen
Food cookin’ in 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
