Lyrics
Small Paradise
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Two veteran lovers french kiss in the doorway
Their ears are cold but their hearts are so warm
A country band playin' down the street just a little ways
They're whiskey wild, they keep it up until dawn
Small paradise
I glad to see everything's alright with you
Alright, then hold me tight, kiss me
Small paradise
A neon sign blinks outside in the pouring rain
It's ladies night free drinks until 10
Some people walk on by, hey, girl, don't I know you?
Won't you come on in?
Well it ain't love but it ain't bad
Small paradise
I glad to see everything's alright with you
Alright, then hold me tight, kiss me
Small paradise
Small paradise
I glad to see everything's alright with you
Alright, then hold me tight, kiss me
Small paradise
