Summer (The First Time) Bette Midler

The original Bobby Goldsboro version as I remember it was;

'Twas a hot afternoon
The last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
Wanting (one-ten?) in the shade
And the pavements were steamin'

I told Billy Ray
In his red Chevrolet
Needed time for some thinking
She was just walking by
When I looked in here eye
And I swore it was winkin'

She was thirty-one
I was seventeen
I knew nothin' 'bout love
She knew everything
But I sat down beside her on a front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring

The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the sky
And it started top swelter
The sweat trickled down
The front of her gown
And I thought (swore?) it would melt her
