Dashboard Blue

Headlights dim. until dawn,
Skin glistens, transient love.
In the glow of midnight moon,
Forever memories, however true.

Kiss your ear, offer a smile,
Close your eyes, just for a while.
​I’m yours now, said in a hush,
Morning'll come, tonight is us.


Actin' roles, we weren't ready for,
Playin' games, didn't know the rules for,
Our forever night was all so true,
Fallin' in love under dashboard blue.
Fallin' in love under dashboard blue.
We fell in love under dashboard blue.

The night was forever,
Didn’t know at the time.

You made me feel,
You made me feel,
You made me feel,
Like a man,
Before I knew what bein' one was.


Feel your warmth, makes me shiver,
Kiss your lips, hint of quiver.
Linger inside your soft embrace,
Steal night moments, forgive by day.

​Holdin' tight, holdin' our breath,
Comin' close, feelin' little death,
Shudder together, release desire,
When it's over, no promises required.

Actin' roles, we weren't ready for,
Playin' games, didn't know the rules for,
Our forever night was all so true,
Fallin' in love under dashboard blue.
Fallin' in love under dashboard blue.
We fell in love under dashboard blue.

Night was forever,
Didn’t know at the time.
You made me feel,
You made me feel,
You made me feel,
Like a man,
Before I knew what bein' one was.

You made me feel,
You made me feel,
You made me feel,
Like a man,
Before I knew what bein' one was.
