There ain't no traffic lights (There ain't no traffic lights)
in this little town, (in this little town,)
And lots of places where (And lots of places where)
there's no one around. (there's no one around.)
Out by the red water, (Out by the red water,)
On the new grass, (On the new grass,)
We'll wake up the mornin', (We'll wake up the mornin',)
Makin' it last. (Makin' it last.)
On a long, sweet (On a long, sweet)
Summer night, (Summer night,)
All the kisses you bring me (All the kisses you bring me)
Get my temperature right. (Get my temperature right.)
Long, sweet (Long, sweet)
Summer night -- (Summer night --)
I will love you in the daytime, too, (Aaaa-ah)
If it's the only other thing I do. (Aaaa-ah)
Sun slips between (Sun slips between)
the covers of night. (the covers of night.)
We'll find each other in (We'll find each other in)
the fadin' light. (the fadin' light.)
Stars turn on slowly, (Stars turn on slowly,)
Warm up the sky. (Warm up the sky.)
We're only two people (We're only two people)
Who are alive. (Who are alive.)
On a long, sweet (On a long, sweet)
Summer night, (Summer night,)
All the kisses you bring me (All the kisses you bring me)
Get my temperature right. (Get my temperature right.)
Long, sweet (Long, sweet)
Summer night -- (Summer night --)
I will love you in the daytime, too, (Aaaa-ah)
If it's the only other thing I do. (Aaaa-ah)
Go on and keep me; (Oooooooh,)
Don't you ever leave me (Don't you ever leave me.)
Like a dog in the (Oooooooh,)
Cold. (Don't you know you got me,)
Know you got me (Oooooooh,)
When you need somebody to (When you need somebody --)
Hold. (When you need somebody to)
(Hold?)
Yeah!
On a long, sweet (On a long, sweet)
Summer night, (Summer night,)
All the kisses you bring me (All the kisses you bring me)
Get my temperature right. (Get my temperature right.)
Long, sweet (Long, sweet)
Summer night -- (Summer night --)
I will love you in the daytime, too, (Aaaa-ah)
If it's the only other thing I do. (Aaaa-ah)
I'm all about givin' it up to you (Aaaa-ah)
On a long, sweet (On a long, sweet)
Summer night. (Summer night.)
