Tonight’s the kind of night, Poets like to write about
The moon is throwing shadows on the wall
The radio is playing all our favourite melodies
And the world is locked away outside the door
Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
Let me be a shelter from the storm
I ain’t had this much affection since the day I was born,
honey
Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
Instrumental
The frost is on the window and there’s winter in the air
It’s cold outside, I think it’s gonna snow
But lying here beside you makes me feel like summertime
And the night is right for love, so let it flow
Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
Let me be a shelter from the storm
I ain’t had this much affection since the day I was born,
honey
Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
Key Change
Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
Let me be a shelter from the storm
I ain’t had this much affection since the day I was born,
honey
Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
Yeah, Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
Let me be a shelter from the storm
I ain’t had this much affection since the day I was born,
honey
Rock me by the fire, keep me warm
