When i picked you up
for our first date baby
well you're pretty blue eyes
they were drivin me crazy
and the tiny little thought
that was so amazing is
they were lookin at me
i held open the car door for you
then you climbed inside and slid on over to the other side
i thought my oh my

sweet thing
the moon is high
and the night is young
come on and meet me
in the backyard under the cotton wood tree
it's a good thing
am i wishin?
oh come on sweet thing
won't you climb on out of your window
while the world's sleepin
you know i need you and there's
no way i'll be leavin
till we're kissin on the porch swing
oh my little sweet thing

yea
i know i'm gonna see you first thing tomorrow
but i just couldn't wait
so i had to borrow uncle jake's mustang
it's his favorite car
so i can't stay long
standin here feelin like a
love-struck romeo
oh all i wanna do is hold you close
steal a little more time
is that such a crime?

sweet thing
the moon is high and the night is young
come on and meet me
in the backyard under the cotton wood tree
it's a good thing
am i wishin?
oh come on sweet thing
won't you climb on out of your window
while the world's sleepin
cause you know i need you and
there's no way i'll be leavin
till we're kissin on the porch swing
oh my sweet thing

Oh my
sweet thing
sweet thing
sweet thing
sweet thing

oh my sweet thing
the moon is high and the night is young
come on and meet me
in the backyard
under the cotton wood tree
it's a good thing
tell me i'm not dreamin'
oh sweet thing
won't you climb on out of your window
while the world's sleepin
cause you know i need you and
there's no way i'll be leavin
till we're kissin on the porch swing
oh my little sweet thing

oh come on
sweet thing
sweet thing
sweet thing
sweet thing

oh my little sweet thing
