[Verse 1] Bare feet on the tile Ice in a paper cup Your laugh in the doorway Pulls the whole night up Palm trees in the distance Waving like they know us We keep it moving slowly Till the moon comes close [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, the air tastes sweet Ooh, we don't need sleep Hold me in the heat Don't let this one leave [Chorus] Summer nights, summer nights Stay a little longer Summer nights, summer nights Make us feel stronger Side by side, hand in hand We rise and rise and rise Summer nights, summer nights Ooh, we come alive [Verse 2] Your shoulder on my shoulder Sand in the car floor Shoes kicked by the back steps We want a little more Every little sparkle Falling from the porch lamp Moves like a secret Across your smiling glance [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, the air tastes sweet Ooh, we don't need sleep Hold me in the heat Don't let this one leave [Chorus] Summer nights, summer nights Stay a little longer Summer nights, summer nights Make us feel stronger Side by side, hand in hand We rise and rise and rise Summer nights, summer nights Ooh, we come alive [Bridge] Let the dark move softly Let the world go slow Two voices in the moonlight One warm afterglow If tomorrow finds us Let it find us here Laughing in the moment With nothing left to fear [Chorus] Summer nights, summer nights Stay a little longer Summer nights, summer nights Make us feel stronger Side by side, hand in hand We rise and rise and rise Summer nights, summer nights Ooh, we come alive
