Story Behind The Song
I play cover songs for a living. This is for TAXI purposes. I came up with this reggae version for an anniversary party I played. It was the husband's favorite song and rather than trying to copy the original exactly, I wanted to perform a contemporary version that still preserved the original feel. He loved it and I have had a lot of good responses to it ever since.

Lyrics
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everything's alright
Summer breeze? makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze? makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor
Summer breeze, etc?
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And I come home? from a hard days work
And you're waiting there? not a care in the world
See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through
Summer breeze, etc?
