[Intro – Soft Spanish Guitar and Cello] Ooh, mi amor… The radio is playing low, We’ve got nowhere we need to go. Robin.......Come a little closer, hold me tight, Let’s take the long way home tonight. [Verse 1] You stood outside in the moonlight, Your Mother's Ring catching bright star light. You smiled and slipped your hand in mine, I lost all track of closing time. The café owner turned his key, You hummed a little tune to me. [Verse 2] We rolled the windows halfway down, And took the quiet streets through town. You found a station through the hiss, Then leaned across to steal a kiss. I missed the turn on Nineteenth Street, You laughed and kept the radio beat. [Instrumental Interlude – Clean Spanish Guitar, Soft cello] [Verse 3] We parked beside the old Shuffler's hall, Where the "Twelfth of Never" drifted through the wall. You said, “That’s our song we used to sing,” And pulled me where the porch lights glow. We danced beside our Su-ba-ru, Until the last notes slipped away. [Verse 4] Now years have softened every mile, But you still wear that same sweet smile. You reach for me when songs come on, We sing the parts we both sing wrong. Mi vida, take my hand once more, There’s room to dance across this floor. [Outro – Gentle Harmonies, cello Fading] Bajo la luna, you and me, As close as we were meant to be. Let that old song play soft and slow, I’m holding you—we’re staying home. [Tag – Intimate Vocal] Mi amor… hold me tight ..... Robin Let’s take the long way home tonight. [fade out - Clean Spanish Guitar, Soft cello]
