Each year the world spins older And winter winds sing colder ... Oh I can name the minutes 'til its done Dark and dreary binds me Still the spring-tide winds me Up to feel the breath of summer sun Summer finds - sunshine Kissing your skin Summer finds - you're mine Let - love - be-gin Summer finds - our minds Soft-spinning in ... The breeze ... The sweet summer breeze I know that there's a reason Each lifetime has its season Morning chases off the darkest night Tho' May can fill the hollows The sun of summer follows That's when I'll be holding you so tight Summer finds - sunshine Kissing your skin Summer finds - you're mine Let - love - be-gin Summer finds - our minds Soft-spinning in ... The breeze ... The sweet summer breeze Baby, don't let the chill of those long winter nights Blow all the embers away (far away) Baby, soon summer breezes will warm you so right And turn those long nights ... To sweet - warm - lov-in' - days (solo) Oh sometimes there's a storm That interrupts the warm ... And paints a fleeting shadow on the sea But then those breezes blow To let this scoundrel know That soon the summer mistral Will bring - my - love - to - me Summer finds - sunshine Kissing your skin Summer finds - you're mine Let - love - be-gin Summer finds - our minds Soft-spinning in ... The breeze ... The sweet summer breeze (repeat refrain) That sweet, sweet summer breeze. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Summer Breeze" Poetry Contest, John Hamilton, Judge & Sponsor.
