Make The Night A Little Longer Lyrics

My days are years
'Cause I don't see my baby till the stars are in the sky
& every night
When we can be together, time just seems to hurry by

So Lord, I'm beggin' you to
Make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
& hold him tight (just a little longer)

You made the world the way you thought it should be
So won't you make the night a little longer for me?

My nights are warm
'Cause when he comes & holds me, everything just feels so fine
But Lord, you know
I hate to see the sunlight, takes away that man of mine

So Lord, I'm beggin' you to
Make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
& hold him tight (just a little longer)

So Lord, I'm beggin' you to
Make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
& hold him tight (just a little longer)

Then embrace his arms (just a little longer)
& all of his charms (just a little longer)
...& fade

Dedicated to the One I Love

My days are years
'Cause I don't see my baby till the stars are in the sky
& every night
When we can be together, time just seems to hurry by

So Lord, I'm beggin' you to
Make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
& hold him tight (just a little longer)

You made the world the way you thought it should be
So won't you make the night a little longer for me?

My nights are warm
'Cause when he comes & holds me, everything just feels so fine
But Lord, you know
I hate to see the sunlight, takes away that man of mine

So Lord, I'm beggin' you to
Make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
& hold him tight (just a little longer)

So Lord, I'm beggin' you to
Make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
& hold him tight (just a little longer)

Then embrace his arms (just a little longer)
& all of his charms (just a little longer)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
