"We Build Our lives,

On Hopes And Dreams And Trust.

Such Fragile Things As These Can Turn To Dust.

And Yet, When All You Hoped For Comes Through,

When All You Dreamed Of Comes True,

It's Like Magic, Magic.

 

Oh, This Is A Special Place.

The Magic Is Here To See

And When It Works The Universe Is Dancing In Time With Me.

Oh, This Is A Special Place,

And Though I May Leave Someday,

In My Heart Will Remain This Very Special Place.

 

Because We Care,

No Matter Where We Go,

We Carry With Us All This Love And Hope.

It Keeps On Echoing Through These Halls,

Singing Through The Windows and Walls.

It's Like Magic, Magic.

 

Oh, This Is A Special Place.

The Magic Is Here To See

And When It Works The Universe Is Dancing In Time With Me.

Oh, This Is A Special Place,

And Though I May Leave Someday,

In My Heart Will Remain This Very Special Place."

In My Heart Will Remain This Very Special Place.

I Was A Little Too Tall, Could've Used A Few Pounds,

Tight Pants, Points, Hardly Renowned.

She Was A Black-Haired Beauty With Big Dark Eyes,

And Points All Her Own, Sittin' Way Up High

Way Up Firm And High.

Out Past The Cornfields Where The Woods Got Heavy,

Out In The Back Seat Of My '60s Chevy.

Workin' On Mysteries Without Any Clues,

 

Workin' On Our Night Moves.

Tryin' To Make Some Front Page Drive-In News.

Workin' On Our Night Moves

In The Summertime (Mmm)

In The Sweet Summertime.

 

We Weren't In Love, Oh No Far From It,

We Weren't Searchin’ For Some Pie In The Sky Summit.

We Were Just Young And Restless And Bored,

Living By The Sword.

And We'd Steal Away Every Chance We Could,

To The Backroom, Allies, Or The Trusty Woods.

I Used Her, She Used Me, But Neither One Cared,

We Were Gettin' Our Share.

 

 

Workin' On Our Night Moves.

 Tryin' To Loose The Awkward Teenage Blues.

 Workin' On Our Night Moves

.In The Summertime (Mmm)

 And The Sweet Summertime, Summertime.

 

 

And Oh The Wonder,

We Felt The Lightning.

And We Waited On The Thunder,

Waited On The Thunder.

 

I Woke Last night to the sound of thunder,

How Far Off I Sat And Wondered.

Started Humming A Song From 1962,

Ain't It Funny How The Night Moves

When You Just Don't Seem To Have As Much To Lose.

Strange How The Night Moves,

Autumn’s Closin' In.

 

Night Moves.

Night Moves

Night Moves yeah

Night Moves.

Night Moves Oh

Night Moves.

Night Moves yeah

Night Moves.

Night Moves oh

I Remember, I Remember, I Remember When, I Remember Those,

Night Moves.
