Oh, it's way past time and I should be home in bed But I'm standing here on this moonlit street instead I want to drink the breeze in And bathe in lantern light Oh, my reason's gone And I blame it on the summer night I see couples pass and their eyes are luminous And they smile at me as if to say "you're one of us" What's going on here? The street is full of lunatics Sharing some pagan rite If we're here till dawn Can we 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 ♪ I've got to stop this I never felt so giddy Why are the stars so bright? Through the streets I wander And blame it on the summer night Maybe the sun will come soon Maybe the morning will save me Clearing my mind Giving me back my sight But for now I'm stuck In the sweet, seductive summer night
