Staunton Nights Lyrics

Clouds live to become rain; they shrink and form again

It a nighttime kind of vibe, that brings us both alive

At the crossroads of the highways; eighty-one and sixty-four

The summer crickets sing their love song to everyone around

Staunton nights, oh Staunton nights, I find the magic in you

Oh, Staunton nights I love you

One of the best small towns in America; the main streets a vision of grace

The Shenandoah Valley glistens in the evening light

The mountain breeze cools the air and brushes through the trees

The evening bats circle overheard keeping watch on those below

Staunton nights, oh Staunton nights, I find the magic near you

Oh, Staunton nights I love you

The arts and crafts help define the town; laid back and so refined

A cultural hot spot, a heritage grown, and the home of a president

Never too cold and never to hot, it's the center of my universe

For people like me

Staunton nights, oh Staunton nights, I find the magic by you

Oh, Staunton nights I love you

Where the American traditions of life, liberty and freedom thrive

A summer night makes you come alive

A stroll, underneath the streetlights, watching the moths cling to the night

You can't know the love or life until you spend the night

Staunton nights, oh Staunton nights, I find the magic around you

Oh, Staunton nights I love you

In the coolness of the morning, you wake from a dream of love

A friendly smile and hello to you greets you at every bend

Staunton may not be famous like New York or L-A

But I'd rather spend my time in Staunton then anyplace else I know

Oh, oh

Staunton nights, oh Staunton nights, I find the magic is you

Oh, Staunton nights I miss you
