Lyrics

[cool tonight]

all the small hotels in the heart of town

little restaurants just six up six down

where the nightlife goes and it´s really wild

and before too long you're a wayward child

well! the harmony of a backstreet bar

broken only by chords from my guitar

i wanna be where I'm at my best

in a small hotel, you can leave the rest

It´s really cool tonight

as a rule tonight

i'm not a fool tonight

i'm gonna be cool tonight

all the melodies of a heartfelt tune

where you tap along, you'll be singing soon

all the songs are neat and the fevers high

after every song you can here the sigh

of the peoples voice, here's the reason why

they can sing along in their perfect time

if the song is right it don´t have to rhyme

you can raise the pitch, take it out, even line

It´s really cool tonight

as a rule tonight

i'm not a fool tonight

I'm gonna be cool tonight

all the jazz routines

who knows what it means

there'll be no regrets for a small affair

where the lovers walk in the cool night air

i really want to see the way it used to be

is it all gone down, are you still for me?

in the final hour when the time is right

all the notes descend into endless night

ah! the summer sun, Oh! the moon on high

give me all of this and the endless sky
