It sure is right on a night like this On a night like this, I'm so glad you're here to stay Hold on to me, pretty miss, and say you'll never go away to stray Run your fingers down my spine and bring me a touch of bliss It sure feels right on a night like this On a night like this I can't get any sleep The air is so cold outside, and the snow's so deep Build a fire, throw on logs, and listen to it hiss And let it burn, burn, burn, burn, on a night like this
A
E
Put your body next to mine and keep me company
F#
B
There is plenty a room for all, so please don't elbow me Let the four winds blow around this old cabin door If I'm not too far off I think we did this once before? There's more frost on the window glass with each new tender kiss But it sure feels right on a night like this

Tough Mama, can I blow a little smoke on you? Dark Beauty, won't you move it on over and make some room? It's my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom Ashes in the furnace, dust on the rise You came through it all the way, flyin' through the skies Dark Beauty, with that long night's journey in your eyes Sweet Goddess, born of a blinding light and a changing wind Now, don't be modest, you know who you are and where you've been Jack the Cowboy went up north, he's buried in the past The Lone Wolf went out drinking, that was over pretty fast Sweet Goddess, your perfect stranger's comin' on in at last Silver Angel with the badge of the lonesome road sewed in your sleeve I'd be grateful if this golden ring you would receive Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch Sweet Goddess, it must be time to carve another notch I'm crestfallen, the world of illusion is at my door I ain't a-haulin' any of my lambs to the marketplace anymore The prison walls are crumblin' down, there is no end in sight I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite Sweet Beauty, meet me at the border late tonight

Something that's crossed over from another century? Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth Rainy days on the Great Lakes, walking the hills of old Duluth There was me and Danny Lopez, cold eyes, black night and then there was Ruth Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth Suddenly I found you and the spirit in me sings Don't have to look no further, you're the soul of many things I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death Something there is about you that moves with style and grace I was in a whirlwind, now I am in some better place My hand's on the sabre and you've picked up on the baton Something there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on

I hate myself for loving you and I'm glad the curtain fell I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed And the mercy that you showed to me, whoever would have guessed I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within That hollow place where martyrs weep and angels play with sin Heard your songs of freedom and man forever stripped Acting out his folly while his back is being whipped Like a slave in orbit he's beaten 'til he's tame All for a moment's glory and it's a dirty, rotten shame There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them In this age of fiberglass I'm searching for a gem The crystal ball upon the wall hasn't shown me nothing yet I've paid the price of solitude but at least I'm out of debt I can't recall a useful thing you ever did for me 'Cept pat me on the back one time when I was on my knees We stared into each other's eyes 'til one of us would break No use to apologize, what difference would it make? So sing your praise of progress and of the Doom Machine The naked truth is still taboo whenever it can be seen Lady Luck who shines on me, will tell you where I'm at I hate myself for loving you but I should get over that

Unsung verse from official lyrics:
Time is all I have to give You can have it if you choose With me you can live Never say goodbye Because my dreams are made of iron and steel With a big bouquet Of roses hanging down From the heavens to the ground The crashing waves roll over me As I stand upon the sand Wait for you to come And grab hold of my hand Oh baby, baby, baby blue You've changed you last name too You've turned your hair to brown Love to see it hangin' down

) I love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me Ever since you walked right in, the circle's been complete I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street In the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole I love you more than ever and it burns me to the soul |

| You gave me babies, one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife My thoughts of you don't ever rest, they'd kill me if I lie But I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood It's never been my duty to remake the world at large Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge 'Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend And if there is eternity I'd love you there again
Instrumental verse (almost)
Oh, can't you see that you were born to stand by my side And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn't cease You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see Just being next to you is a natural thing for me And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on 'Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone
Instrumental verse (almost)
