Tempo

We were 17

It was like a dream

You were nothing like

I’ve ever seen

Stayed out late

Almost dawn

I don’t need to know a tempo

To play your favorite song

I don’t need to know what time it is

To love you all night long

Dark eyed babe

Pure and true

I found myself

When I fell in love with you

Can’t fool fate

Can’t break this bond

I don’t need to know a tempo

To play your favorite song

I don’t need to know what time it is

To love you all night long

Ease your mind

Don’t worry about a thing

I don’t need to know a tempo

To play your favorite song

I don’t need to know what time it is

To love you all night long

If I forget the words

I’ll just tell you how I feel

Darling, I won’t leave you guessing

Or wondering what’s real

I don’t need to know a tempo

 to play your favorite song

I don’t need to know what time it is

To love you all night long
