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 morning

And 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, and that's how I feel



Open 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



We'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 said

I 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 to

And later on on your kitchen floor

Two flights above the grocery store

I felt things I never felt before, and still do



Open 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



Going eighty on the highway

we're all rushing somewhere

But the way I feel tonight

It's like I"m already there
