Nights Like This Lyrics

I spy silly notions

And foolhardy findings

And wine poured like a potion

To fix all broken things

And darling if you tell me

You think you're doing fine

I'll say what I always say

And pray it works this time

I hear a record scratching

Out it's carven runes

Playing something ancient

That means something to you

And I see bare-feet dancing

On a kitchen tile floor

And there ain't nothing more worth asking

I ain't asked ya for

And I can't see my way out of this mess

And I can't see you in a wedding dress

So darling smile and spin your pirouettes

And I'll hold tight to the nights like this

I feel the dreams your painting

On the walls of every room

Though I don't see what you're gaining

By not making them come true

And I can feel the aching

You'd hide from someone else

But if you won't love me

Won't you please love yourself

And I can't see my way out of this mess

And I can't see you in a wedding dress

So darling smile and smoke your cigarettes

And I'll hold tight to the nights like this

Your blue suede leather jacket

The highlights in your hair

How ya bite your lip when you're thinking

And fear what's never there

The perfume, the spirits

The shade in the pines

And every afternoon I saw through you

But still wished you'd be mine

And I can't see my way out of this mess

And I can't see you in a wedding dress

So darling smile and spin your pirouettes

And I'll hold tight to the nights like this

I'll hold tight to the nights like this

I'll hold tight to the nights like this
