You need the evening action
[Fm7] [Bbm7] [Cm7] [Dbmaj7]
A place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance
[Fm7] [Bbm7] [Cm7] [Dbmaj7]

You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance

Bridge
[G#m7] [F#] [D#m7] [C#]
So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others
[G#m7] [F#] [D#m7] [C#]
On a ride through paradise
[G#m7] [F#] [D#m7] [C#]
And if you feel all right then we can be lovers
[G#m7] [F#] [Emaj7] [Eadd#11] [C#7] [C#]
'Cause I see that starlight look in your eyes
[Emaj7] [Emaj9] [Db/Eb]
Don't you know we can fly?

We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light
