As I set here alone with the stars through the night
And my thoughts they come back to you
You're far from me way out of my sight
But my mind draws a picture of you
You're part of my morning, my noon, and my night
I just can't keep you away
You've been here forever, so clear in my mind
There's been something I've needed to say

Can we hold hands on a blanket under the moon
While the orchestra of crickets plays us a tune
We can sit by the fire out back in the yard
Loving you, woman, has never been hard
We can sit on a porch swing right up to the dawn
Slow dance to the radio till the night time is gone

You may be a hundred or a few miles away
You're still on my mind today
You've been here forever, so clear in my mind
I just don't know what to do
I may not have you but girl till I do
This is my love song to you

Can we hold hands on a blanket under the moon
While the orchestra of crickets plays us a tune
We can sit by the fire out back in the yard
Loving you, woman, has never been hard
We can sit on a porch swing right up to the dawn
Slow dance to the radio till the night time is gone
