[Verse 1] The heat of the day was finally gone A porch fan turning, a tired dog’s yawn Windows open on an old white house Nothing in the world was in a rush now You came laughing down that cracked driveway Fireflies waking up out by the graveled lane I said your name and the whole night changed Like the dark itself had made a place [Pre-Chorus] No band was playing No crowd in sight Just your hand finding mine In the middle of that quiet night [Chorus] Midnight on Maple, your hand in mine Streetlights glowing like a county line Old screen doors and a radio low Nowhere to be, nowhere to go Midnight on Maple, sweet summer sky You laughed once and the whole world shined We were just two hearts taking our time Midnight on Maple, frozen in time [Verse 2] We walked slow past the neighbor’s yard Past a church sign and through the park Somebody somewhere left a record on Floating through the night like a well-known song Your hair turned silver in the pale moonlight You smiled and said, don’t let this end tonight I didn’t answer, I just held on fast Like wanting it enough could make it last [Pre-Chorus] No big promises No grand design Just your shoulder against me And that little street alive [Chorus] Midnight on Maple, your hand in mine Streetlights glowing like a county line Old screen doors and a radio low Nowhere to be, nowhere to go Midnight on Maple, sweet summer sky You laughed once and the whole world shined We were just two hearts taking our time Midnight on Maple, frozen in time [Bridge] Maybe love looks different Than the silver screen would say Maybe it’s just finding heaven In an ordinary, quiet way Forever doesn’t need the thunder If it’s always this soft and slow Just moonlight on the old blacktop And somebody you don’t want to let go [Final Chorus] Midnight on Maple, your hand in mine Streetlights glowing like a county line Old screen doors and a radio low Nowhere to be, nowhere to go Midnight on Maple, sweet summer sky You laughed once and the whole world shined We were just two hearts taking our time Midnight on Maple, frozen in time [Outro] Midnight on Maple Still on my mind Midnight on Maple Frozen in time
