I dream about you and now summer's come and gone
And the nights, they seem so long
Come on over tonight, come on over
It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you by the firelight
If it don't feel right, you can go
Oh, when the cool night
Brings back memories of a good life
When this love was not so old
Oh, I won't talk about the past
How love's supposed to last forever
And you don't have to take a stand, lay out any plans
Come on over tonight, come on over
It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you by the firelight
If it don't feel right, you can go
Oh, when the cool night
Brings back memories of a good life
When this love was not so old
Come on over tonight, come on over
It's gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you by the firelight
If it don't feel right, you can go
On a cool night, let me hold you
On a cool night, just let me hold you
By the firelight, if it don't feel right
You can go
On a cool night, let me hold you
On a cool night, just let me hold you
By the firelight, if it don't feel right
You can go
On a cool night, let me hold you
On a cool night, just let me hold you
By the firelight, if it don't feel right
You can go
On a cool night, let me hold you
