Lyrics

VERSE
It's been some years since we said "I do"
We were so in love; nothing could get in our way
Now we love our children, and we still love each other, too
But nothing stays the same; have we had our better days?

PRE-CHORUS
To make love to you, I never needed an excuse
But now, somehow, it feels like I do

CHORUS
As long as we're lying here, why don't we just make love?
The TV went off in the storm; all the connections are down
I could lose the tee-shirt; you could lose the nightgown
As long as we're lying here, why don't we just make love?

SOLO/VERSE
It would be so fine to return to those times
Let's go where online is off, where we can feel again
Throw off these shackles; head straight for the sublime
I love makin' love to you; let's take this all the way

Repeat PRE-CHORUS/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
As long as we're lying here...
