Lyrics:

Paradise by the dashboard light Songtext
(Steinman)

Well I remember every little thing as even happened only yesterday -
parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight
and I never had a girl looking any better than you did
and all the kids at school they were wishing they were me that night

and now our bodies are ohh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right

and we're glowing the the metal on the edge of a knife,
glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife,
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Ain't no doubt about it
we were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
and we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it,
Baby got to go and shout it
ain't no doubt about it
we were doubly blessed

Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
and we were barely dressed

Baby don't ya' hear my heart?
You got it drowing out the radio
I've been wating so long for you
to come along and have some fun

And I gotta let ya know no you're never regret it
So open up your eyes
I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right at all
I make your motor run

And now our bodies are ohh, so close and tight.
It never felt so good,
it never felt so right.
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife,
glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
c'mon, hold on tight,
c'mon, hold on tight!

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night?

I can see paradise by the dashboard light...
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark n... i... g.... h... t...
..in the deep dark night

Paradise by the dashboard light?.

You got to do what you can
and let Mother Nature do the rest
ain't no boubt about it we were doubley blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely...

We're gonna go all the way tonight - we're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.
We're gonna go all the way tonight - we're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.
We're gonna go all the way tonight - we're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.
We're gonna go all the way tonight - we're gonna go all the way and tonight's the night.

Radio Broadcast:

Ok here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
Going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
Bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up, and
There it is, a line shot up the middle, look
At him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
Now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
Try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
And here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe- safe at second base, this kid really
Makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate here's the pitch-
He's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
For third, here's the throw, its in the dirt-
Safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
Daring him to try and pick him off. the pitcher
Glanes over, winds up, and it bunted, bunted
Down the third base line, this suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate,
Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

I couldn't take it any longer, Lord, I was crazed and when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave that I would love You to the end of time. I swore I would love You to the end of time.
....
So now I'm praying for the end of time.
to hurry up and arrive.
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow but God only knows what I can do right now I'm praying for the end of time that's all that I can do uhhh.. uhh...
praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you

And it was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today

Well it was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today

It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today

It never felt so good, It never felt so right and we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today

It never felt so good, It never felt so right
and we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today
