You take your coat off and throw it on the floor
       Night delivers you to my arms once more
       You feel so familiar as you get into bed
       Cigarette smoke halo around you head
       You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
       I could lay with you like this for hours...
       Hours and hours
       Building a summer home in your arms
       I kiss you with the languid adiration of slumber
       Landin' random as lotto numbers
       One for each eye
       And, oops, one on your nose
       And ten for each of your cute little toes
       You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
       I could lay with you like this for hours...
       Hours and hours...
       Building a summer home in your arms
       Am I crazy, do I talk too much?
       Sometimes I think your silence is a crutch
       Am I mad, are you married?
       Oh jesus this love stuff can sure be scary
       But so sweet... So sweet
       Here in your arms
       I'm a bit of a mess and I'm gone too much
       But when I'm away it's you I long to touch
       And certain things remind me it's such a special treat
       As these little things that bring you to me
       You lean over and kiss me so sweet...
       I could lay with you like this for hours...
       Hours and hours...
       Building a summer home in your arms
       I'm building a summer home in your arms
       I'm building a summer home in your arms
       I'm building a summer home in your arms
       Built with all your charms
