Put down the play book
Cause the things I wanna show you can’t be written down
Let my lips do the teaching
Turn off the camera
Kick your shoes off for this scene you should be sitting down
Yeah sitting close enough for reaching
Turn down the lamp
For the last page has been turned
When the dawn's breaking through
We can stop and review all the lessons you have learned, cause
History is made at night so close the books turn off the light and listen
Let my heart be the teacher
No one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you’ve been missing
Let the moon be our only light
Cause history is made at night
I see the questions burning in your eyes or is it just reflections
Of the stars high above you
Oh I’m just your student and I hope you won’t be shy please make corrections
Yeah on the sweetest way to love you
Come whisper close tell me just when to say when
Then we’ll sleep through the day
Then whenever you say that’s when school begins again, 'cause
History is made at night so close the books turn off the light and listen
Let my heart be the teacher
No one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you’ve been missing
Let the moon be our only light
Cause history is made at night
Someday they’ll write lots of books
About our fame and glory
But if all their reports are just movies and sports
They’ll be missing the whole story, 'cause
History is made at night so close the books turn off the light and listen
Let my heart be the teacher
No one here to disapprove
As we review the lessons you’ve been missing
Let the moon be our only light
Cause history is made at night
