Lyrics
You walked in with the evening rain Boots still wet, no cause to complain Dropped a quarter, picked a slow one Looked my way and the night began I'm no dancer but I'll try Hold me close and don't ask why The bartender turns the lights down low Jukebox amber, soft and slow Sway with me in the jukebox light Nothing's wrong and the night is right Slow, slow, let the music burn Every turn is a page we turn Sway with me, sway with me tonight Your hand in mine, the steel guitar cries Honey, I could stay here till sunrise Outside the world can keep its pace I'll keep the shape of your face Sway with me in the jukebox light Nothing's wrong and the night is right Slow, slow, let the music burn Every turn is a page we turn Sway with me, sway with me tonight Last song plays and nobody moves Two old souls with nothing to prove Let the amber glow keep on Sway with me in the jukebox light Nothing's wrong and the night is right Slow, slow, let the music burn Every turn is a page we turn Sway with me, sway with me tonight Sway with me tonight
