Lyrics

Just outside
Of the dance hall door
Across the street
From the hardware store
Its a full moon night
Shinin' like a big spotlight
She smiles and says
"I guess this is goodbye"
Says, "come on, honey
We still got time"
The night's so long
And I don't wanna spend it alone
We could sit here and talk
We could go for a walk
If anybody asks
I'll say it my fault
We'll drive around town
'Til the break of dawn
Life's too short
The night's too long
Life's too short
The night's too long
I don't care
If its right or wrong
Come the mornin'
Might all be gone
Life's too short
The night's too long
She smiles at him
As the wind starts to blow
She's old enough
Old enough to know
What could 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 night's so long
And I don't wanna spend it alone"
Standin' outside
Of the dance hall door
She said, "I've never taken anybody
Home before"
He just smiled and said
"Well, come on
Life's to short
The night's too long"
Life's too short
The night's too long
I don't care
If its right or wrong
Come the mornin'
Might all be gone
Life's too short
The night's too long
Standin' outside
Of the dance hall door
She said, "I've never taken anybody
Home before"
He just smiled and said
"Well, come on
Life's to short
The night's too long"
Life's too short
The night's too long
I don't care
If its right or wrong
Come the mornin'
Might all be gone
Life's too short
The night's too long
Life's too short
The night's too long
Life's too short
The night's too long
