Lyrics

Drinking to the music, slipping into paradise
You laugh at my jokes, I love watching you
Notice how the time flies
Every precious second counting down to saying good-bye

It's your hair in the air
That dearly makes me want to keep you by my side
It's your eyes, your sweet lies
That really tell me I must never let you go
Smile the night away

(rap)
Yeah it's you and me
You know the two of us, you see that's the key

You next to me and nothing else shall matter
"What time is it?"...My heart and soul will shatter

Do you really have to go home now?
"You'll be OK!"...Then better teach me how

Oh I know how, just let me think a while
Put an end to the night with your cutest smile

You're the one who's got all the power
If you turn me down, my hopes you devour

I wanna hold you hug you squeeze you tease you
Don't you date tell me you've got to keep a curfew

Stay with me or gotta take the ride
Because I ain't moving tell you decide

Alone's no way to end our gorgeous day
So baby please, please smile the night away

(end rap)

It's your eyes,your sweet lies
That really tell me I must never let you go
Smile the night away
