My Beautiful Red-Haired Woman

Lyrics

[Intro] Come a little closer, darling Let the old room turn [Verse 1] Your red hair catches the chandelier Like a match in a glass of wine You laugh and pull me through the crowded floor Till your heartbeat falls in line with mine I know every turn of that satin dress The way your shoulder meets my hand And when you look at me over your cheek I forget every place I planned [Pre-Chorus] The band slows down, but we don't Your perfume stays on my collar One more step, then I lose my breath When you draw me closer, closer [Chorus] Kiss me, kiss me passionately Like the whole wide world can't see Your lips on mine, your hands in mine Two hearts keeping perfect time Dance with me through this love song Hold me till the night is gone My beautiful red-haired woman, you I keep falling into you [Verse 2] There's a silver comb beside your glass And a rose pinned near your ear The trumpet sighs while the piano rolls But all I hear is you right here You say my name and the room gets small No velvet rope, no distant crowd I put my coat around your shoulders You pull my face down, laughing loud [Pre-Chorus] The band slows down, but we don't Your perfume stays on my collar One more step, then I lose my breath When you draw me closer, closer [Chorus] Kiss me, kiss me passionately Like the whole wide world can't see Your lips on mine, your hands in mine Two hearts keeping perfect time Dance with me through this love song Hold me till the night is gone My beautiful red-haired woman, you I keep falling into you [Bridge] If tomorrow brings a crowded train And daylight finds us tired I'll still taste the sweetness on your mouth And remember how you set me on fire So turn me once beneath the amber lamps Let the room spin soft and slow I came here just to hear the music Now you're all I want to know [Final Chorus] Kiss me, kiss me passionately Put your arms around me Your lips on mine, your hands in mine Two hearts keeping perfect time Dance with me through this love song Hold me till the night is gone My beautiful red-haired woman, you Every road comes back to you [Outro] One more kiss before the last note One more turn, then don't let go Kiss me, darling, kiss me close You're the only song I know
