Summer Breeze

*Play this song on YouTube.*

"**Summer Breeze**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album *Bloody Kisses*, released in 1993. It is the sixth track on both regular version and digipak edition of the album. This is a cover of Seals and Crofts written by Jim Seals and Dash Crofts that was made slower and heavier while leaving the melody perfectly intact. The lyrics from the original was edited by the addition of humor and Type O character and be titled "Summer Girl". However Seals & Crofts found the lyrics distasteful and rejected it, so they were forced to re-record the vocals and remixed the song under the title "Summer Breeze".

"Summer Breeze" is played during the opening credits of the 1997 horror film *I Know What You Did Last Summer*.

## Lyrics

See the curtains hanging' in the window

Evening on a Friday night

A little light-a-shinin' in the window

Lets me know everything's alright

Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk

music from the house next door

So I walk on up to the doorstep

Through the screen and across the floor

Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer - the jasmine's in bloom

July is dressed up and playing her tune

When I come home from a hard day's work

And you're waiting there

I don't have a care

Not a care in the world

See the smile waiting in the kitchen

Food cookin' and the plates for two

Feel your arms reaching out to hold me

In the evening when the day is through

Summer breeze

Makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine

In my mind

Summer breeze yeah

Makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine

In my mind

Summer breeze

Makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine

In my mind
