It was an indian summer just three days past
We were making love in the tall bluegrass
We had stars in our eyes
You had Moon dust in your hair

Nothing mattered in this world
It was just you and me
Underneath the leaves of that old apple tree
I can still close my eyes and see yours right there

But life happened along the way
And it's no use in pretending
That every fairytale has a happy ending

Baby, hold on one more night
Let's give it another try
Before the lights go out in paradise
Baby, hold on take my hand
Let's give love another chance
Before the lights go out in paradise

Baby, we're still the people we were back then
When we were running wild like a couple of lost kids
With no money in our pockets
The world was weighing on our minds

But it's an uphill climb to Heaven's door
It's a rocky road if you take it
This love is worth fighting for
And I believe we can make it

Baby, hold on one more night
Let's give it another try
Before the lights go out in paradise
Baby, hold on take my hand
Let's give love another chance
Before the lights go out in paradise

But it's an uphill climb to Heaven's door
It's a rocky road if you take it
This love is worth fighting for
And I believe we can make it

Hold on one more night
Let's give it another try
Before the lights go out in paradise
Baby, hold on take my hand
Let's give love another chance
Before the lights go out in paradise

Lights go out in paradise
Before the lights go out in paradise
