Lyrics
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a friday night
Little light is shining through the window
Lets me know everything is all rightSummer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mindSummer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mindSee the paper laying 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 floorSummer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mindSummer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mindSweet days of summer
The jasmine is in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home
From a hard day’s work
And you are waiting there
Without a care in the worldSee the smile waiting in the kitchen
Through cooking and a place for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is throughSummer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mindSummer breeze
Makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
