In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin' through the window

A little music from the house next door

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
[Verse 3]
See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Through cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
[Chorus]
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind
