1. How did it get so late, where
did the night go to ?
A D - A
Strange how it slips away when
I'm with you.
D Em
I know it's almost 2, I know
you should leave, but wait,
A
D -
A
I've thought it over and
there's something I gotta say.
D G
Why don't you spend the night ? Somehow it
seems so right !
A
D A
Why does it have to end so soon ? Please, stay
till the morning light.
D
G
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone,
A A7 D
ah, come on now, why don't you
spend the night ?
D Em
2. Maybe I spoke too soon, and maybe my timing's wrong,
A
D -
A
or
maybe it's something I shouldn't have said at all.
D Em
But when I look in your eyes,
I feel like we're almost one,
A
D - A
ah,
something tells me the night's only just begun.
