Saturday Night 1971 ©

There was a light in your eyes that night
Outside the sun slipped out of sight
And your suitors were circling on the stairs
To the strains of the Bay City Rollers

You nodded to me and I crossed the floor
While they stopped to watch us from the door
As you looked me straight in the eye
With no façade, and no disguise

Chorus:

And we danced on into the night
With the full moon on the rise outside
It was nineteen seventy one
And Saturday night would soon be gone

Adrift in a dream we danced all alone
'til the lights went down and the night had flown
Deep in your arms and deep in my heart
I knew that we should never part

And we walked hand in hand to your back door
Where we stood until it was almost four
I held you close and you held me tight
Until the dawn stole out of the night

Chorus:

And we danced on into our lives
With the full moon on the rise outside
It was nineteen seventy one
And Saturday night would soon be gone

We met one last time down on Hamilton Road
Where I kissed your sweet lips and let you go
As you looked me straight in the eye
With no façade and no goodbye

And now when I walk past the old Town Hall
I can't help wond'ring if you recall
The full moon high in that summer sky
And the light of love in my eyes

Chorus:

And we danced on into our lives
With the full moon on the rise outside
It was nineteen seventy one
And Saturday night would soon be gone
