lyrics

The night’s getting late now, baby go on asleep
The night’s getting late now, baby go on asleep
I’ll just be a few minutes, in the dark and the deep

Just go on to bed, dear, ain’t nothing to see tonight
Just go on to bed, dear, you know I’ll be all right
I just want a few minutes, alone with the night

Don’t scare me, baby, this house is haunted when the nights grow cold
Don’t scare me, baby, when I’m up this late alone
And don’t ask me no questions, baby you don’t wanna know

That summer for us, baby, was blue jeans and white t-shirts
That summer for us, baby, was blue jeans and white t-shirts
Where are your blue jeans now, dear, where’d you leave ‘em out to hang
Are they faded now, like the light of day?

When the light would get low and the band would play their songs
And the girls of summer would dance with their sandals on
We’d be waiting for the boys with the guitars to play our favorite verse
I miss it so much it hurts

Don’t let me scare you, I just had too much to drink
Don’t let me scare you, I just need some room to think
I just feel a bit too old now, or a bit too close to the brink

Do we love each other, baby, or do I love you and you love me?
Do we love each other, baby, or do I love you and you love me?
Will we ever know, darling, or will we just keep waiting to see?

Don’t worry, baby, I’m sure the feeling will pass
Don’t worry, baby, I’m sure these thoughts won’t last
And tomorrow when you wake, the past will be the past
