Once, you would smile and send me reeling Once in awhile, I find I still get that feeling Of you and me, in a city that's sleeping Becoming the best secret worth keeping If it's not the best of times, it still was a good year Virginia done right: outside, every time the sky cleared You looking pretty in your summer sleeves A face fit for the movie screens Saying "Let's stay up until the church bells ring Late enough, so we're the only thing It's not much to fall a little in love with me" My legs, if I gave them a rest, would I become The kind you forget, the one that you ran to death for the season Years passed, and love got heavy-lidded But I would go back, I’d fall right in it So let's stay up ‘til the church bells ring Late enough, so we're the only thing It's not much to fall a little in love with me Let's keep turning while the world moves slow While the hungry hearts blur inside the towns below Don't go easy, now - baby, just go with me Like tall grass and Tennessee rain, do you miss me? And do the days pass like out-of-state plates when you're busy? You've got an open door and the best years left You can take the top drawer, you can sleep on my chest So let's stay up until the church bells ring Late enough, so we're the only thing It's not much to fall a little in love with me Let's keep turning while the world moves slow While the hungry hearts blur inside the towns below Don't go easy, now - baby, just go with me
