Ellen Foley - Paradise by dashboard light

I remember every little thing as if it happened only 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, 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 were barely dressed

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

Baby don't ya hear my heart? You got it drowing out the radio
I've been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let you know, no, you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise, it'll feel all right
Well, I wanna make you 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, C'mon, hold on tight

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

OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
There's the wind-up, 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 now
He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second
The ball is bobbled out in the center
And here's the throw and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first
Here he comes, he's out
No, wait, 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
And he's trying for third
Here's the throw
It's in the dirt, safe a third
Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there
Almost daring them to 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! 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 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 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 and will you love me forever?

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

I gotta know right now!
Will you love me forever?
Do you love me?

Let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it

I couldn't take it any longer, Lord, I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore 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 that I can really 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
That's all that I can do
I'm 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 it is today
It never felt so good, It never felt so right
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
