Love Together

Lyrics

You leave the hallway light on low, Like you already know I’ll find my way across the room And lose my coat somewhere too soon. You pour the wine, I watch your hand, Neither one of us has planned Exactly where the night might go, But there are certain things we know. You say, “Come closer, it’s getting cold,” I say, “That story’s getting old.” But still I move an inch or two, Funny what a look can do. A little closer, a little more, Who needs to know what locks the door? A little slower, take your time, You know your rhythm, I know mine. No need for words, no need to prove We’ve both been practising that move. Turn down the lights, turn up the heat, Love always sounds better with a steady beat. You say my buttons look undone, I tell you, “Only half the fun.” You offer kindly to assist, I somehow fail to quite resist. The record reaches side number two, I’m paying no attention, are you? The needle jumps, the curtains sway, We’ll blame the breeze another day. You whisper, “Should we call it a night?” While holding me a little too tight. I say, “Of course, whatever you choose,” But neither one of us makes a move. A little closer, a little more, Who needs to know what locks the door? A little slower, take your time, You know your rhythm, I know mine. No need for words, no need to prove We’ve both been practising that move. Turn down the lights, turn up the heat, Love always sounds better with a steady beat. There’s something underneath your smile, That says we may be here a while. And something in the way you sigh Suggests the temperature is high. We’re innocent, or so we claim— Two little angels playing games. But morning has a way of showing Just how far the night was going. Come a little closer, stay a little more, Leave your inhibitions by the door. Take it slowly, take your time, Your little heartbeat keeping time with mine. No explanations, no alibis, Just that certain sparkle in your eyes. Turn down the lights, forget the street— Love always sounds better With a steady beat. So leave the hallway light down low, There’s really nowhere else to go. And if tomorrow asks where we’ve been… We’ll simply smile And change the scene.
