Just outside of the dance hall door
Across the street from the hardware store.
Its a full moon night, shining like a big spot light.
She smiles and says I guess this is goodbye.
Says come on honey we still got time.
The nights so long and I don't wanna spend it alone.
We can sit here and talk, We can go for a walk.
If anybody Asked, I'll says it my fault.
Driving around town till the break of dawn.
Life's to short the nights too long.
Life's to short the nights too long.
I don't care if its right or wrong.
Come the mornin' it might all be gone.
Life's to short the nights too long.
She smiles at him as the wind starts to blow.
She's old enough, old enough to know.
What can happen in the dark, between a couple of hearts.
He Says I guess you're right its getting kinda late.
He turns to walk away, she says No way!
The nights so long and I don't wanna spend it alone.
Standing outside of dance hall door.
She said I've never taken anyone home before.
He just smiled and said well come on.
Life's to short the nights too long.
Life's to short the nights too long.
I don't care if its right or wrong.
Come the mornin' it might all be gone.
Life's to short the nights too long.
Standing outside of dance hall door.
She said I've never taken anyone home before.
He just smiled and said well come on.
Life's to short the nights too long.
Life's to short the nights too long.
I don't care if its right or wrong.
Come the mornin' it might all be gone.
Life's to short the nights too long.
Life's to short the nights too long.
Life's to short the nights too long.
