I. PARADISE

I remember every little thing as if it only happened yesterday,
Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight.
And I never had a girl looking any better than you did.
And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night.
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight.
It never felt so good, it never felt so right.
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife,
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
C'mon, hold on tight!  Well, c'mon, hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night,
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.

Ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed,
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we're barely dressed.
Ain't no doubt about it, baby, got to go and shout it.
Ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed,
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we're barely dressed.

Baby, dont'cha hear my heart?
You got it drowning out the radio.
I've been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun.
And I've gotta let you know.  No, you're never gonna regret it.
So open up your eyes, I've got a big surprise.
It'll feel alright.  Well, I wanna make your motor run.
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight.
It never felt so good, it never felt so right.
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife,
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
C'mon, hold on tight!  Well, c'mon, hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night,
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night,
(In the deep dark night)
Paradise by the dashboard light.

You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest.
Ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed,
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we're barely...

We're gonna go all the way tonight.
We're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.
We're gonna go all the way tonight.
We're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.
We're gonna go all the way tonight.
We're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.
We're gonna go all the way tonight.
We're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.

RADIO BROADCAST: Phil Rizzuto
Okay, here we go, we've got a real pressure cooker going here.
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth.
There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle.
Look at him go!  This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on.  He's not letting up at all.
He's gonna try for second.
The ball is bobbled out at center and here comes the throw and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first.  Here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, he's safe, safe at second base.
This kid really makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch.
He's going and what a jump he's got!
He's trying for third, here's the throw.
It's in the dirt safe at third.  Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there almost daring him to try and pick him off.
The pitcher glances over, winds up and it's bunted, bunted down the third base line.
The suicide squeeze is on!  Here he comes, squeeze play!
It's gonna be close.  
Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate.
Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

II. LET ME SLEEP ON IT

Stop right there,
I gotta know right now.
Before we go any further, do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?  Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me?  Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?  Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now,
Before we go any further, do you love me?
Will you love me forever?

Let me sleep on it.
Baby, baby, let me sleep on it.
Let me sleep on it.
I'll give you an answer in the morning.
Let me sleep on it.
Baby, baby, let me sleep on it.
Let me sleep on it.
I'll give you an answer in the morning.
Let me sleep on it.
Let me sleep on it.
Let me sleep on it.
I'll give you an answer in the morning.

I gotta know right now!
Do you love me?  Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?  Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now,
Before we go any further, do you love me?
Will you love me forever?

What's it gonna be, boy?  Come on.
I can wait all night.
What's it gonna be, boy, yes or no?
What's it gonna be, boy?  Yes or no?  (Uh, uh, uh, la, la, la.)

Let me sleep on it.
Baby, baby, let me sleep on it.
Let me sleep on it.
I'll give you answer in the morning.  (I gotta know right now!)
Let me sleep on it.  (Do you love me?  Will you love me forever?)
Baby, baby, let me sleep on it.  (Do you need me?  Will you never leave me?)
Let me sleep on it.  (Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?)
I'll give you answer in the morning, the morning.
(Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?)
I'll tell you in the morning!
I gotta know right now,
Before we go any further, do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Let me sleep on it.  Will you love me forever?
Let me sleep on it.  Will you love me forever?

III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME

I couldn't take it any longer.
Lord, I was crazed.
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave,
Started swearing to God and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time.
I swore that I would love you to the end of time.
So now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive,
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you,
I don't think I can survive.
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow,
But God only knows what I can do right now.
I'm praying for the end of time.
It's all I can do, oooh, oooh.
Praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you.

It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than yesterday.
It never felt so good, it never felt so right.
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
(It was long ago and it was far away)
It never felt so good, it never felt so right.
(And it was so much better than yesterday.)
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
(It was long ago and it was far away)
It never felt so good, it never felt so right.
(And it was so much better than yesterday.)
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
(It was long ago and it was far away)
It never felt so good, it never felt so right.
(And it was so much better than yesterday.)
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
(It was long ago and it was far away)
It never felt so good, it never felt so right.
(And it was so much better than yesterday.)
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
