James Taylor - Slow Burning Love lyrics

It was a hot and sultry day Somewhen 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, smouldering 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, smouldering love For you and i And like the sun on the edge of the western sky It died Slow burning love...
