We Owned The Night

[Lady Antebellum]

Tell me have you ever wanted

Someone so much it hurts?

Your lips keep trying to speak

But you just can't find the words

Well I had this dream once;

I held it in my hands



She was the purest beauty

But not the common kind

She had a way about her

That made you feel alive

And for a moment

You made the world stand still



Yeah we owned the night



You had me dim the lights;

You danced just like a child

The wine spilled on your dress



And all you did was smile

Yeah, it was perfect

I hold it in my mind



Yeah, we owned the night



When the summer rolls around

And the sun starts sinking down

I still remember you

Oh, I remember you

And I wonder where you are



Are you looking at those same stars again?

Do you remember when?



We woke under a blanket

All tangled up in skin

Not knowing in that moment

We'd never speak again

But it was perfect;

I never will forget

When we owned the night



Yeah, we owned the night
