Standard (EADGBE)

Follow me down to the Starlight Motel

 While everyone’s sleeping tonight

Don’t be afraid, I know what’s on your mind

I’m gonna make it alright

 Well, I know it’s cold and I know it’s late

 But our life is short, darling, I can’t wait

Follow my footsteps and silently step

Out to the road in the moonlight

 The stars in the sky are all laid out for us

They’ll watch over our love tonight

 Well, I know it’s cold and I know it’s late

 But our life is short, darling, I can’t wait

 Won’t you join me for this dance

 It may be our only chance

 Baby, don’t say no tonight

There’s times I believe that we’ll never return

 But the moon always has to start falling

 Blankets protect you from the cold before dawn

 But they can’t protect you from the morning

 Well, I know it’s cold and I know it’s late

 But our life is short, darling, I can’t wait

 Won’t you join me for this dance

 It may be our only chance

 Baby, don’t say no tonight
