Tell me have you ever wanted Someone so much it hurts? Your lips keep trying to speak But you just can't find the words Well I had this dream once I held it in my hands She was the purest beauty But not the common kind She had a way about her That made you feel alive And for a moment You made the world stand still Yeah we owned the night You had me dim the lights You danced just like a child The wine spilled on your dress And all you did was smile Yeah, it was perfect I hold it in my mind Yeah, we owned the night When the summer rolls around And the sun starts sinking down I still remember you Oh, I remember you And I wonder where you are Are you looking at those Same stars again? Do you remember when? We woke under a blanket All tangled up in skin Not knowing in that moment We'd never speak again But it was perfect I never will forget When we owned the night Yeah, we owned the night Oh oh woah oh Oh oh woah oh Oh oh woah oh Oh oh woah oh
