There is no one else around the road is quiet, the only sound
Is wind that sounds like cars that sound like breathing
The desert air is hot and dry two lanes weaving earth and sky
The stars are all that's keeping time till morningAnd I turn and look beside me and you're sleeping like a baby
And you haven't heard a word that I've been saying
And the way you look tonight fast asleep in the dashboard light
Well I can't speak that's how I feelOpen your eyes and look at me and look at me
Open your eyes and look at me
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you
Take it from me, take it from meWe're ten years older, I know we are
Than the night we met in that downtown bar
You thought I was some kind of star
That's what you saidI felt your skin, I felt the heat
As you pulled me out into the street
And you kissed me there till I was weak
'Cause I asked you toAnd later on your kitchen floor
Two flights above the grocery store
I felt things I never felt before and I still doOpen your eyes and look at me and look at me
Open your eyes and look at me
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you
Take it from me, take it from meGoing eighty on the highway
We're all rushing somewhere
But the way I feel tonight
It's like I'm already thereOpen your eyes and look at me and look at me
Open your eyes and look at me
'Cause I have and hold this love for you
Before this ten year night is through, I'm telling you
Take it from me, take it from me
