"Superman" lyrics - MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER

Well the night is ending everywhere
Dim the lights, put up the chairs
Walk me home, take my hand
Maybe you can be my Superman

Tonight I wore my party dress
For no one else but me I guess
That's alright, you understand
Tonight you'll be my Superman

[Chorus:]
No confessions now or later
Hold me 'cause you can
Tonight love is not a traitor
But a friend

No you don't have to save the world
With x-ray eyes and cape unfurled
Simply whisper in my ear again
That you're gonna be my Superman

[Chorus:]
No confessions now or later
Hold me 'cause you can
Tonight love is not a traitor
But a friend

Oh the night is ending everywhere
Streets rolled up, sidewalks bare
But we don't have to give a damn
'Cause I'm dressed to kill and you're Superman
