Donna Summer Dim all the Lights Lyrics:
Dim all the lights sweet darling,
'Cause tonight it's all the way.
Turn up the old Victrola,
Gonna dance the night away.
Love just don't come easy,
No, it seldom does.
When you find the perfect love,
Let it fill you up
[4] .
[Tempo change.]
Dim all the lights sweet darlin',
'Cause tonight it's all the way.
Hey, baby, turn up the old Victrola,
Gonna dance the night away.
Love just don't come easy,
No, it seldom does.
When you find the perfect love,
Let it fill you up.
Hey, baby, dim all the lights sweet honey,
'Cause tonight it's you and me.
No need to worry darlin',
'Cause it's for eternity.
Love just don't come easy,
This you know I understand.
Want to be your woman,
If you'll be my man.
Let yourself go freely, and I'll
Show you things that you've dreamed of.
Don't think that your dreamin',
We found the perfect love.
(We found the perfect love.)
And I'm like a cup, ((come fill me up.))
(Dim all the lights.)
Dim all the lights sweet darling,
'Cause tonight it's all the way.
Wo, baby.
(Turn off the lights.)
Turn up the old Victrola,
Gonna dance the night away.
[Short instrumental break.]
[Echo effects:]
Do what you want,
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/MGn ]You can use me all up.
Take me bottom to top,
Don't leave even one drop.
No, no, no, no, no.
Do it tonight,
You know the moment's so right.
Turn my brown body white,
Come on dim all the lights.
[No effects:]
(Dim all the lights.)
Dim all the lights sweet darlin',
'Cause tonight it's all the way.
Hey, baby.
(Dim all the lights.)
Turn up the old Victrola,
Gonna steal your heart away.
Hey, baby.
(Dim all the lights.)
Dim all the lights sweet darlin',
(Dim all the lights.)
Dim it, dim it,
(Dim all the lights.)
Dance the night away.
(Dim all the lights.)
Dim all the lights sweet honey,
Gonna steal your heart away.
(Dim all the lights.)
Keep on dancin'.
(Dim all the lights.)
Dim all the lights sweet darlin',
[Fade.]
Love me, love me, love me.
Steal...
