Eddie Mugavero: music
HOW CAN I GIVE YOU THE NIGHT?
(Written by Eddie Mugavero & Dawn Carter-Sung by Dawn Carter)
I wanted to write a sweeter, tamer version of Loretta's "Don't Come Home A'Drinkin' With Lovin' On Your Mind"...this would be her sister, Crystal Gale's version.
HOW CAN I GIVE YOU THE NIGHT?
THE HONEYMOON’S OVER WHEN THE SUN COMES UP
AND WE BEGIN OUR DAY
YOU’VE GOT MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ON YOUR MIND
AT LEAST YOU MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY
BUT HONEY, THE MOON AIN’T NO SPOTLIGHT
OUR LOVE’S NOT A MIDNIGHT SHOW
I CAN’T WAIT IN THE WINGS ALL DAY
THEN COME OUT WHEN THE CURTAINS ARE CLOSED
AND YOU WONDER WHY I JUST TURN AWAY
WHEN YOU TURN OUT THE LIGHT
IF YOU WON’T GIVE ME THE TIME OF DAY
HOW CAN I GIVE YOU THE NIGHT?
CAN YOU REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS
WHEN WE HAD BREAKFAST IN BED
YOU’D SAY ‘I LOVE YOU’ OVER BACON AND EGGS
I HUNG ON EVERY WORD YOU SAID
BUT NOW YOU WANT YOUR COFFEE TO GO
YOU’RE ALWAYS RUNNIN’ LATE
YOU SAY THINGS ARE GONNA SLOW DOWN SOON
BUT HOW MUCH LONGER DO I HAVE TO WAIT?
