[Verse 1] We met back when the jukebox played for dimes And every slow dance felt like borrowed time Your dress was blue like a midnight train And I was just a kid with a crooked name [Verse 2] You taught me how to move in 4/4 time Your laugh would hit on every second line The bandleader winked like he knew our fate When you said "don’t be late" and I couldn’t wait [Pre-Chorus] We were kings of the corner booth back then With nothing but quarters and a promise again The world was smaller, but the music was tall And we thought we could catch it before the fall Back when the moon was ours, and the night was young Back when every love song we knew was sung We didn't need a reason, we didn't need a plan We just held on tight like the night began[Chorus] [Verse 3] Now the jukebox hums in a different key And the corner booth’s got someone else but me The moon still hangs, but it don't shine the same Since you took my heart and forgot my name [Pre-Chorus] We were kings of the corner booth back then With nothing but quarters and a promise again The world was smaller, but the music was tall And we thought we could catch it before the fall Back when the moon was ours, and the night was young Back when every love song we knew was sung We didn't need a reason, we didn't need a plan We just held on tight like the night began[Chorus] **** If I found that jukebox on a quiet street And dropped a dime for a bittersweet beat Would you come back in your dress of blue And make the moon ours for a dance or two[Bridge] Back when the moon was ours, and the night was young Back when the moon was ours, and the night was young[Final Chorus] So I’ll keep humming our old refrain Till the moon is ours all over again[Outro]
