it was a hot and sultry day somewhere in early september. i don't hardly remember the day
just the way the sun beat down upon the bay
baby. i did not even need to know your name
it was
oh
so plain to see that you had eyes for me. halfway open
halfway closed
half-naked eyes for me
baby. it was a slow burning love
a fair-weather love affair. a slow burning
smoldering love for you and i. and like the sun on the edge of the western sky
it died. oh
the lights of the city were close at hand. i might just as well have been another man. you might just as well have been another girl. it might just as well have been another world. it was a slow burning love
a fair-weather love affair. a slow burning
smoldering love for you and i. and like the sun on the edge of the western sky
it died. oh
slow burning love. you were smoking up that day
some kind of hot. it was a slow burning love
a fair-weather love affair. a slow burning
smoldering love for you and i. and like the sun on the edge of the western sky
