More of These Nights

[Verse 1]

Kids grow up and they do their own thing

They've got their own schedules, their own life.

And I can picture a time when it's just me and Amy here

But I don't like to think about that this year

[Verse 2]

Instead I'd rather think about the ribs we had

And the grilled pineapple on the fire

The laughter real loud that feels just right

There’s nothing else I'd trade it for

[Chorus]

Please let me have more of these nights

At John’s Yurt space it feels so right.

With music, laughter, also peace

Please let me have more of these nights.

You know, it was just right.

[Verse 3]

Someone fetched guitars as the sunlight got away

In my head I said this prayer, hold this a little longer for me

We ended the night with a song called Kathleen

Everybody sang, like golden bells, voices rang.

[Verse 4]

It was a song by Josh Ritter with its carefully crafted meaning

Then everyone went to bed and I just stood there dreaming

[Chorus]

Please let me have more of these nights

At John’s yurt space it feels so right.

With music, laughter, also peace

Please let me have more of these nights.

You know, it was just right.
