Richard Marx - Long Hot Summer lyrics

[Verse 1] I can't sleep There is no sleep coming I'm just lying here thinking about you I'm in deep Falling deep into the picture in my mind of everything we're going to do Over at the lake and down by the river You can feel it start to rise Want to jump in my car, go wherever you are Because I need you by my side [Chorus] It's going to be a long, hot summer, we should be together With your feet up on the dashboard now Singing along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out When you hold my hand in the back of my mind, just waiting for the sun to go down The sun to go down I want to see your brown skin shimmer in the sun for the first time I try to be the one who knows just what to do to you to get me that smile One chance of meeting, you were walking by me on the street and I said hi And that was the beginning of my heart spinning like these wheels in my head tonight [Chorus] It's going to be a long, hot summer, we should be together With your feet up on the dashboard now Singing along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out When you hold my hand in the back of my mind, just waiting for the sun to go down The sun to go down The only place that I want to be is where you are Because anymore than a heartbeat away is just too far [Chorus] It's going to be a long, hot summer, we should be together With your feet up on the dashboard now Singing along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out When you hold my hand in the back of my mind, just waiting for the sun to go down The sun to go down [Outro] I swear it's like you're waiting for the sun to go down Waiting on the sun to go down Hey, yeah Oh, I'm loving thinking about you I can't sleep, I'm just lying here thinking about you
