Blame It on The Summer Night
[Sal]
Oh it's way past time
When I should be home in bed
But we're standing here
On this moonlit street instead
I want to drink the breeze in
And bathe in lantern light
If we're here till dawn
We can blame it on the summer night

[Rebecca]
I see couples pass
And their eyes are luminous

[Sal]
And they nod and smile
As if to say
"You're just like us."

[Rebecca]
What's going on here?
The street is full of lunatics
Sharing some pagan rite
Oh, my reason's gone

[Sal]
Can we blame it on the summer night?
[Both]
Maybе the sun will come soon
Maybe thе morning will save us
Clearing our minds
Giving us back our sight
But for now we're stuck
In the sweet, seductive
Summer...

[Rebecca]
I've got to stop this
I've never felt so giddy
Why are the stars so bright?
In a daze I wander
And blame it on the summer night

I keep remembering his eyes
Fiery pale in the moonlight
Spinning my heart
Into an endless flight
But I'm not to blame
It's just the shameless
Summer night
