Close your eyes, baby
Follow my heart
Call on the memories
Here in the dark

We'll let the magic
Take us away
Back to the feelings
We shared when they played

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin', hold me tight, oh
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

These precious hours
We know can't survive
But love's all that matters
While the past is alive

Now and for always
Till time disappears
We'll hold each other
Whenever we hear

In the still of the night
Hold me darlin', hold me tight, say
So real, so right
Lost in the fifties tonight

Oh, so right, say
Oh, so real, so right
So real, so right
