Story behind the song
Everyone's going home after the dance in the local nightclub, so the boy asks her if it wouldn't be nicer to spend the night together making love. Dancing in a smoky nightclub is fine, but hey...!!
Craig McLearie & I had not written a country song, and this is what came out. It's got a very commercial hook, and we're very pleased with both words & lyrics.
This song was a Finalist in the Song of the Year songwriting contest in March, 2004.
Lyrics
Here's Verse 1:-
It’s time to remember that old moon shadow
And reach for the stars in our eyes,
‘Cos the music’s stopped playing
And ev’ryone’s saying goodbye.
Refrain. Who needs a smoky old nightclub,
Who needs to dance until dawn?
Who needs a smoky old nightclub
When we can make love all night long?
