August Nights Lyrics

AUGUST NIGHTS, AUGUST NIGHTS,

I DROVE AN HOUR JUST TO LOOK YOU IN THE EYE,

NERVOUS TALK, SWEATY PALMS,

WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING BUT IT DIDN'T FEEL WRONG, IN FACT, IT FELT SO RIGHT WITH THE STARS IN THE SKY,

YOU SWORE YOU'D NEVER EVER SEEN THEM SHINE THAT BRIGHT.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRE BURNING AROUND US,

AND THE MOON RISING ABOVE US,

AND THE LOOK YOU GAVE ME THAT SHOT ME STRAIGHT TO THE SKY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE SLOW SONGS THAT WE WERE PLAYING, AND THE RISKY THINGS WE WERE SAYING,

OR THE WAY YOU PULLED ME IN TO KISS ME GOODBYE.

AUGUST NIGHTS, AUGUST NIGHTS.

NOW THE LEAVES ARE CHANGED AND THE SKY IS GRAV, BUT YOU STILL LOOK AT ME LIKE YOU DID THAT DAV, SO I TOOK YOU HOME TO SHOW YOU WHERE l'M FROM, YOU SAT THERE BY THE RIVER IN THE EVENING SUN, SO I PAINTED YOU THERE, AN IMAGE JUST FOR, YEAH,

JUST FOR ME.

I PAINTED YOU JUST THE WAY IT OUGHTA BE.

WITH THE FIRE BURNING AROUND US,

AND THE MOON RISING ABOVE US,

AND THE LOOK YOU GAVE ME THAT SHOT ME STRAIGHT TO THE SKY. WITH THE SLOW SONGS THAT WE WERE PLAYING,

AND THE RISKY THINGS WE WERE SAYING,

OR THE WAY YOU PULLED ME IN TO KISS ME GOODBYE.

AUGUST NIGHTS, AUGUST NIGHTS, 00000 YEAH.

(INSTRUMENTAL)

COULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRE BURNING AROUND US,

AND THE MOON RISING ABOVE US,

AND THE LOOK YOU GAVE ME THAT SHOT ME STRAIGHT TO THE SKY. COULD HAVE BEEN THE SLOW SONGS THAT WE WERE PLAYING, AND THE RISKY THINGS WE WERE SAVING,

AND THE WAY YOU PULLED ME IN TO KISS ME GOODBYE.

AUGUST NIGHTS, AUGUST NIGHTS,

YEAH AUGUST NIGHTS, AUGUST NIGHTS.
