On a night like this So glad you came around Hold on to me so tight And heat up some coffee grounds We got much to talk about And much to reminisce It sure is right On a night like this On a night like this So glad you've come to stay Hold on to me, pretty miss Say you'll never go away to stray Run your fingers down my spine 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 Put your body next to mine And keep me company, 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
