Sheila Kaufman songs
Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman
Music by Lee James McAboy
On hot summer days I think of
Playing in fire hydrants
While shimmering heat waves fill the air.
On hot summer days I think of
The sun beating on the pavement,
I think about summer nights and how I used to
Spend them all with you.
Hot summer nights I think about you.
At your knock on my door
I'd slip into the dark, feeling so safe and warm.
Hot summer nights I think about you,
The smell of earth's perfume
We played beneath the moon.
I daydream of summer nights.
On hot summer days I think of
The way that we laughed together,
The way that your hand fit into mine.
On hot summer days I think of
The first stirring of a new love
The sweet mem'ry of your touch
Still takes me back to summer nights again.
Hot summer nights I think about you,
A cricket serenade, the promises we made
Wrapped in each other's arms.
Hot summer nights I think about you,
The grass prickling our skin
As we lay side by side.
I daydream of summer nights
Some memories never will fade away
A summer love, on a summer day,
A passion newly awakening
Never thinking what Winter might bring,
Lying under the starry sky
Wishing morning never would come
Abandoned now by the stars above,
Leaving dreams of a summer love.
On hot summer nights I think of
Our last summer night together
Our futile attempt to ward off Fall.
I think of our bodies reaching
Each finding what they're seeking.
As evenings last stars go out, the sun comes up,
And night fades into dawn.
Hot summer nights I think about you.
At your knock on my door
I'd slip onto your arms feeling so safe and warm.
Hot summer nights I'm waiting for you.
I smell hot earths perfume,
I wait under the moon,
And dream of hot summer nights.
