I Don't Want The Night To End                copyright 2010 Stan Lyness 
uptempo country, female vocal

         Dinner and dancing and a magical kiss -          4     5
   don't know as I've ever been treated like this.        4    (2m 5)
       I oughta be tired and we really should go          6m    4
 but I'm flyin' too high to come down, so                 2m    5
     I'm sayin' it's quite all right                      4     5
      if painting the town takes us all night.          (6m 2m)(4) 5  57

CHORUS:
      Make it last forever, dancin' close together,       4   5
      try to make the moment stay                         6m  6m
      til we have to say goodnight to a lovely day.       4   5   1  17
      Throw your arms around me; feel my heart pounding;  4   5
      don't let go til I say when.                        6m  1
      Hold me tight; I don't want the night to end.       4   5   1   1


         Aren't you polite to walk me home?               4     5
      It gave us chance to talk alone.                    4    (2m 5)
  But we haven't stopped talkin' since we got to the door,6m    4
 and I'm startin' to feel a chill on the porch,           2m    5
      so why don't we talk inside,                        4     5
    hold on a bit longer to a beautiful night?           (6m 2m)(4) 5  57

CHORUS:
      Make it last forever, talkin' close together,       4   5
      try to make the moment stay                         6m  6m
      til a perfect night gives way to a brand new day.   4   5   1  17
      Throw your arms around me; feel my heart pounding;  4   5
      don't let go til I say when.                        6m  1
      Hold me tight; I don't want the night to end.       4   5   1   1

BRIDGE:
         Feels so right if a little insane,              5    3
         feels like ridin' a runaway train.              6m   6
         Don't let it stop, don't let it slow,           4    2
 and for God's sake don't let go.                        2m   5   57


         Maybe we go our separate ways                    4     5
 and the thrill wears off in three or four days,          4    (2m 5)
     but maybe my life just divided in two                6m    4
     and this is the start of the part with you,          2m    5
     and maybe you're feeling the same,                   4     5
cause there's love in the way you're saying my name.    (6m 2m)(4) 5  57

CHORUS:
      Make it last forever, feelin' close together,       4   5
      try to make that feelin' stay,                      6m  6m
      feelin' like tonight has changed the rest of our days.4   5   1  17
      I'm so high that even if I'm only dreaming,         4   5
don't wake me up til I say when.                          6m  1
      Hold me tight; I don't want the night to end.       4   5   1   17
      Hold me tight; I don't want the night to end.       4   5   1   1
