We Owned the Night Lyrics - Lady Antebellum

Tell me have you ever wanted
Someone so much it hurts,
Your lips keep trying to speak
But you just can't find the words?
Well, I had this dream once,
I held it in my hand:

She was the purest beauty,
But not the common kind.
She had a way about her
That made you feel alive,
And for a moment,
You made the world stand still.
Yeah, we owned the night.

You had me dim the lights,
You danced just like a child.
The wine spilled on your dress,
And all you did was smile.
Yeah, it was perfect,
And I hold it in my mind.
Yeah, we owned the night.

When the summer rolls around,
And the sun starts sinking down,
I still remember you, ooo I remember you.
And I wonder where you are,
Are you looking at those same stars again?
Do you remember when...

We woke under a blanket,
All tangled up in skin,
Not knowing in that moment
We'd never speak again?
But it was perfect, I never will forget
When we owned the night.

Yeah, we owned the night.
