I don't much like summer nights
Palm trees blowing in the breeze
And I've got no use for a full moon
Shinning down on the sea
It brings to mind another time
And a girl I used to know
That loved me and held me then let me go

I don't go near the water now
Cause I'm afraid I'll surly drown
And I have a sea of heartaches
That took a hold and pulled me down
The ocean waves brings back yesterdays
And the girl I used to know
That loved me and held me then let me go

I don't go near the water now
Cause I'm afraid I'll surly drown
And I have a sea of heartaches
That took a hold and pulled me down
Wish I'd forget some mistakes
The way she turned the lamp down low
And loved me and held me then let me go
