Lyrics
WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN OFF
let's tuck the kids in early this evening
light the fire and pop the cork on a bottle of wine
kick back on the sofa, get all warm and comfy
forget about the days ahead and reminisce tonight
I remember long ago standing on the doorstep
tempting you with goodnight kisses hoping to come in
that taste you left upon my lips is still my favorite flavor
so hold me close now let me taste that flavor once again
when the lights turn off we'll turn on each other
every way we learned how all our loving years
just you and I and our love under covers
and when the lights turn off we'll turn on each other
let's take a piece of memory and put it in our pockets
hide away this special moment that we'll share tonight
then someday in the future we'll look upon this evening
and make another memory of two lovers in the night
when the lights turn off we'll turn on each other
every way we learned how all our loving years
just you and I and our love under covers
and when the lights turn off we'll turn on each other
