Ernie Tonight

Lyrics

Verse 1
Your hand in mine, Sunday slow
Curtains closed, but I still glow
Ernie, baby, you know the way
You turn my midnight into day

Verse 2
Red shirt tossed on the chair
Bare feet dancing through the air
Your touch is soft, your eyes are fire
Pulling me closer, higher, higher

Pre-Chorus
And I don't need a crowd
I don't need the door
Just your steady heartbeat
And a little bit more

Chorus
Me and Ernie, love so sweet
Me and Ernie, don't miss a beat
Hold me close, let the world go by
Me and Ernie, baby, we fly
(Me and Ernie) all night long
(Me and Ernie) steady and strong

Verse 3
Your name on my tongue like prayer
Quiet heat hanging in the air
Every kiss says stay, don't leave
Every breath says you belong to me

Verse 4
Moonlight laying on your skin
I fall apart where you begin
No rush now, let it unfold
Two soft hearts and a touch of gold

Pre-Chorus
And I don't need a crowd
I don't need the door
Just your steady heartbeat
And a little bit more

Chorus
Me and Ernie, love so sweet
Me and Ernie, don't miss a beat
Hold me close, let the world go by
Me and Ernie, baby, we fly
(Me and Ernie) all night long
(Me and Ernie) steady and strong

Bridge
When the room gets quiet
And the night leans in
I know where your arms are
I know where I've been
Safe in your touch
Lost in your heat
Ernie, baby
You make me complete

Final Chorus
Me and Ernie, love so sweet
Me and Ernie, don't miss a beat
Hold me close, let the world go by
Me and Ernie, baby, we fly
(Me and Ernie) all night long
(Me and Ernie) steady and strong
Me and Ernie, love so sweet
(Me and Ernie) you and me
