A Night Like This Songtext

von Rod Stewart

Sixteen years old, looking for a hideaway.
I'm a set designer, my Mum and Dad thinking I'm gay.
I'm a lazy bugger, but I like my sport like girls and music...
I'm happy, happy sort of a guy.
But there's one thing I'm lacking, it's sexual experience.
So I ask you, my sweetheart, save me from this wilderness!
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this.
Yeah!
Where I come from, love is just a hole in the wall.
And the steel mills ring out and generations heed the call.
And the rain never stops and the skies are grey.
And the chance of romance slim as a bright sunny day.
This is partly the reason I'm so overwhelmed and shy.
Because your beauty, by contrast is gonna make a young man cry.
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this!
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this!
You don't know what it means to a boy from a suburban home
To be left with a woman like you completely alone.
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this!
Nice place you've got here, babe, never seen a house like this!
Pool like an ocean, bed like a football pitch...
All the guys at the boozer won't believe my luck.
But it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke than me.
So here we are, the record's gotten stuck in the groove.
My knees are trembling, c'mon baby, make a move!
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this!
I've schemed, honey, of a night like this!
I've dreamed, I've schemed, honey, of a night like this!
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this!
