0:12Turn the page from summer to fall
0:15Been a while since I knew you were waiting up for my call
0:21Tonight I'm lonely, can't sleep and I'm climbing the walls
0:26And all I want is red wine on the night stand
0:29In the afterglow of a slow dance
0:32Yeah baby
0:33Take me back
0:35And leave me there
0:38Your blue jeans hanging off of your bedroom chair
0:43Sun coming through the blinds
0:46And hands running through your hair, baby
0:49Take me back
0:51And leave me there
1:00You don't have to make promises
1:03You don't have to go and take back that goodbye that you said
1:09You can move on like a southbound Greyhound bus
1:14Just lay me down in that memory of us
1:21Take me back
1:23And leave me there
1:26Your blue jeans hanging off of your bedroom chair
1:31Sun coming through the blinds
1:34Hands running through your hair, baby
1:37Take me back
1:39And leave me there
1:47Just leave me there
1:53There where we made love
1:56After we made up
1:58Red wine on the nightstand
2:00In the afterglow of a slow dance
2:03Yeah baby
2:04Take me back
2:06And leave me there
2:09Your blue jeans hanging off of your bedroom chair
2:14Sun coming through the blinds
2:17Your hands running through your hair, baby
2:20Take me back
2:22And leave me there
2:30Just leave me there
2:34♪
