  • I sometimes wonder why
    All the flowers have to die
    I dream about you
    And now, summer's come and gone
    And the nights they seem so long
    Come on over tonight
    Come on over

    It's gonna be a cool night
    Just let me hold you by the firelight
    If it don't feel right, you can go
    Oh, when the cool night brings back memories
    Of a good life, when this love was not so old

    Oh, I won't talk about the past
    How love's supposed to last forever
    And you don't have to take a stand
    Lay out any plans
    Come on over tonight
    Come on over

    It's gonna be a cool night
    Just let me hold you by the firelight
    If it don't feel right, you can go
    Oh, when the cool night brings back memories
    Of a good life, when this love was not so old

    Come on over tonight
    Come on over

    It's gonna be a cool night
    Just let me hold you by the firelight
    If it don't feel right you can go
    On a cool night, let me hold you
    On a cool night, just let me hold you by the firelight
    If it don't feel right, you can go
    On a cool night, let me hold you
    On a cool night, just let me hold you by the firelight
    If it don't feel right, you can go
    On a cool night, let me hold you
    On a cool night, just let me hold you by the firelight
    If it don't feel right, you can go Writer/s: Paul Davis

  • Mister_mojo_risin from Atlanta UsaThis is totally a basement track. Think I was about 5 when this one came out - Remember this one coming out of my 'rents Sherwood S-7200 receiver thru Pioneer speakers.

    Classic pop song for sure!
  • Al from NswBrings back loads of childhood sweet memories and more, top classic!
  • Bruce B. from San Jose, CaI used to sing this wistfully as a lovesick teen in bed at night, “Come on over tonight, come on o-o-o-over...” with this idealized image of a girl in my head (who looked a lot like Farrah Faucet at the time - LOL)
  • Mike from Norwalk, CtReminds me of a snowstorm that just missed our area...........why do I think of that I'll never know.......LOL
  • Dodge from Casper, WyDavis turned to country soon after the hits dried up for him in pop-rock. This song is especially noteworthy as his squeaky-clean, Christian-based sound was tested with this strong romantic ballad.
  • Paul from Detroit, MiWhat a great talent, he was. I loved this song. He was very underrated.
