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
