On A Night Like Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Fallin' like rain ripplin' on by
Supermoon, watch it dance in your eyes
My wildest of dreams takin' on a new life

[Pre-Chorus]
If it's this good way down here
Then what's it like up there high in heaven?

[Chorus]
On a night like tonight
Are we just two stars passing by?
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
On a night like tonight

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Innocent kisses, now, our hearts on fire
Got me so high, walkin' on a wire, yeah
Baby, you, baby, you blow my mind
Tell me anything you likе, except for goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
If it's this good way down hеre
Then what's it like up there high in heaven?

[Chorus]
On a night like tonight
(On a night, on a night, on a night)
Are we just two stars passing by?
(Passing by, passing by, passing by)
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
On a night like tonight
(On a night, on a night, on a night)

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Yeah

[Bridge]
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Pressed on mine, pressed on mine
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Wanna know what your lovin' tastes like
(On a night, on a night, on a night)
Wantin' your summer skin pressed on mine
Pressed on mine, pressed on mine
(Passing by, passing by, passing by)
