Lyrics

NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE Words & Music by Susan NIkas

On a Hot Summer Night with nothing to do
But play my guitar and think about you
There's a soft summer breeze and sweet perfume
As night blooming jasmine fills the room

Then I remember that sweet summertime
When I was yours and you were mine
Love was new and love was kind
And night blooming jasmine filled my mind

My thoughts go back to that summer day
When I decided to go away
Anger and tears and walking the floor
I wiped off your kiss, as I walked out the door

Then I remember that sweet summertime
When I was yours and you were mine
Love was new and love was kind
And night blooming jasmine filled my mind

Now you're living out your new life
With house and kids and mortgage and wife
And I don't think of that night in June
'Til night blooming jasmine fills the room


Then I remember that sweet summertime
When I was yours and you were mine
And love was new and love was kind
And night blooming jasmine filled my mind

Bridge:

We live our lives backwards without ever knowing
Our happiness is all in the past
Days slip like water through my fingers,
I wish that I could have one more chance

Then I remember that sweet summertime
When I was yours and you were mine
And love was new and love was kind
And night blooming jasmine filled my mind
