Lyrics
It was a sweet night in the summer, the summer, the summertime
The street lights, they glistened, they glistened, they glistened so bright
But will you be my Valentine when the summer nights are through?
Or will you see the end of my pale shade of blue?
It was the right time for a weekend, a weekend, a weekend for two
It was the wrong time to be dreaming, be dreaming, be dreaming like a fool
But will you see the little bird if it lights upon your hand?
Or will it just pull apart, strand by strand?
Ah hah...
It was a sweet night in the summer, the summer, the summertime
The street lights, they glistened, they glistened, they glistened so bright
x 2
Ah hah...
