On Some Warm Summer Night [1979] - Peter Pepper

(from the 1979 album 'Love Songs about Heartbreak')

Lyrics:

Those nights
Those nights made our bodies sizzle
I remembered the heat, felt wistful
Maybe I was too thick skulled
back then
Didn’t realize you wanted us together
Back when
we were too young to know any better
Sometimes, it slips my mind
Always wanders back inside
When I tried,
tried to get you back, you were gone
Funny how life moves on
I think about you every now and then
Probably won’t ever see you again
Maybe we’ll meet, another place, another time
I’ll always keep, the grace of those summer nights

How could I ever forget
how feverish we’d get
My mind goes back
way back

I still curse the inertia
Couldn’t break it, then
Maybe I wasn’t worth a damn
During them nights
The air was so thick
We couldn’t breathe right
Our love was oblique
We lost each other’s sight
Now I know deep
in my soul, it was heartfelt in the end
Don’t ever pretend that it wasn’t
We were friends
And I blindly couldn’t comprehend
what was coming
You saw me through a different lens
All of a sudden,
Wanted me to feel how I made you hurt inside
Hey, guess it all worked because I
questioned my existence, got choked
Maybe the first instance my heart broke
I recall it today, holding no grudge
Even puppy love will make heartbreak show up

How could I ever forget
how feverish we’d get
My mind goes back
way back
to when I broke your heart
and you broke mine
We merely played our part
on some warm summer night
On some warm summer night
On some warm summer night

Can you still feel it?
That electricity

That electricity we had since the beginning
Our heads spinning
Lost in them nights, free living
Hearts pounding, minds racing, bodies all humid
In those summer nights, we were young and foolish
Never ever lucid
I can still hear the music, when we first danced
The earth moved with every quick glance
Those nights seem like yesterday
Words we’ll never say,
I’ll whisper them to the summer wind
Maybe let’s just keep them within
and we’ll utter them, another time
Maybe they’ll stay lost in those summer nights...
