Charles Strouse - Rags: The New American Musical: Blame It on the Summer Night lyrics

Artist: Charles Strouse

album: Rags: The New American Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)


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
