Why Don’t You and I Slip Away
Lyrics — Why Don’t You and I Slip Away …
Verse
It was a sultry August night
Stars glowing brightly in the sky —
Crickets singing their love songs
As desires seduced the torrid air
Bridge
Another cigarette floats toward the ground ….
One more clock note comes back around
Remembering an evening when we met
She was in a crowded cafe —
Her laughter filling empty spaces,
It’s then her eyes spied mine
That moment remains in my mind
When my heart was swept away —
Recalling her words softly said
Fever kept pouring through my veins
Chorus
“Why don’t you and I slip away,
I’ll meet you at midnight -
We’ll make love under the moonlight”
Yet another day begins to shine
Seeing the same faces going by —
Laughter long ago faded away
Knowing her words will never be ….
“Why don’t you and I slip away,
I’ll meet you at midnight -
We’ll make love under the moonlight”
“Why don’t you and I slip away,
I’ll meet you at midnight -
We’ll make love under the moonlight”
Outro
One more cigarette floats toward the ground ….
One more clock note coming back around
