"Just a Kiss"
By Lady Antebellum

Lying here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings
When it feels so hard to breathe
I'm caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back
When I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow

Chorus

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright
With just a kiss goodnight

I know that if we give this a little time
It'll only bring us closer
To the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real
No it's never felt so right

(Chorus)

No, I don't want to say goodnight
I know it's time to leave
But you'll be in my dreams
Tonight, tonight

(Chorus)
