Text
[Intro]
Hey now, gather close, the evening's young
One little spark and we're all begun
[Verse 1]
You came in laughing, coat over your arm
The whole room turned toward that easy charm
I saved you a place by the window seat
Now every goodbye has a dancing beat
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, let the good days roll
Put your hand in mine, let the music take hold
Round and round till the morning comes
Two hearts keeping time like a single drum
[Transition]
Well, the night keeps changing its shoes
And I keep finding new ways to choose you
[Verse 2]
You left your blue scarf on my kitchen chair
I wore it outside like you were there
At the corner store, beneath the awning light
I caught your smile in a passerby's sight
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, let the good days roll
Put your hand in mine, let the music take hold
Round and round till the morning comes
Two hearts keeping time like a single drum
[Bridge]
If the road gets long, if the rain comes down
I'll meet you halfway on the edge of town
No grand parade, no silver throne
Just your old front step and the way back home
[Final Chorus]
Come on, come on, let the good days roll
Put your hand in mine, let the music take hold
Round and round till the morning comes
Two hearts keeping time like a single drum
Come on, come on, hear the whole room sing
Love makes a little out of everything
[Outro]
Hey now, gather close, the evening's young
One little spark and we're all begun
Hey now, gather close, the evening's young
One little spark and we're all begun
[Verse 1]
You came in laughing, coat over your arm
The whole room turned toward that easy charm
I saved you a place by the window seat
Now every goodbye has a dancing beat
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, let the good days roll
Put your hand in mine, let the music take hold
Round and round till the morning comes
Two hearts keeping time like a single drum
[Transition]
Well, the night keeps changing its shoes
And I keep finding new ways to choose you
[Verse 2]
You left your blue scarf on my kitchen chair
I wore it outside like you were there
At the corner store, beneath the awning light
I caught your smile in a passerby's sight
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, let the good days roll
Put your hand in mine, let the music take hold
Round and round till the morning comes
Two hearts keeping time like a single drum
[Bridge]
If the road gets long, if the rain comes down
I'll meet you halfway on the edge of town
No grand parade, no silver throne
Just your old front step and the way back home
[Final Chorus]
Come on, come on, let the good days roll
Put your hand in mine, let the music take hold
Round and round till the morning comes
Two hearts keeping time like a single drum
Come on, come on, hear the whole room sing
Love makes a little out of everything
[Outro]
Hey now, gather close, the evening's young
One little spark and we're all begun
