Lyrics
ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS
Words and Music by James Keith Norman
VERSE #1
The moon will glow where it always glows.
Stars’ll sparkle like they do.
And I’ll walk streets
familiar to me.
I won’t see much that’s new.
And I will make my way to places I
can describe with both eyes closed.
And same-old sounds
will of course abound,
and I’ll settle in to what I know.
CHORUS:
On a night like this
we’ll meet,
my heart will beat
even faster than when
I first saw you,
saw I had to
let you know that I exist
on a night like this.
VERSE #2:
I could be thinking about tomorrow’s to-do’s,
or days off destined to come.
Then suddenly you’ll be
in front of me
like a dazzling, heat-wave sun.
And I will make a good impression if it takes two tries
when I finally walk up to you.
And I won’t care
if you catch me stare.
It’s something you’ll have to get used to
CHORUS:
On a night like this
we’ll meet,
my heart will beat
even faster than when
I first saw you,
saw I had to
let you know that I exist
on a night like this.
BRIDGE:
And years from now, I could be here waiting
for you to arrive for celebrating
an anniversary
then you appear and rush to me
years from now
CHORUS:
On a night like this
we’ll meet,
my heart will beat
even faster than when
I first saw you,
saw I had to
let you know that I exist
on a night like this
we’ll meet,
my heart will beat
even faster than when
I first saw you,
saw I had to
let you know that I exist
on a night like this.
On a night like this.
On a night like this.
