Make It Right

Make It Right

Put on your red dress
Yes, the one you put away
Put on an old song
Like the ones we used to play
And put a candle on the table
We're gonna stay home tonight
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
But to make it right

And make it right, all night long
When we're right,
Nothing can go wrong
So close your eyes
And sing this song tonight:
Make it right, make it right, make it right

No big celebration,
None of your friends or friends of mine
No obligations,
Let's just turn off our minds
And you look at me, I'll look at you
You're such a pretty sight
You are all that this man needs
To make it right

Make it right, all night long
When we're right,
Nothing can go wrong
So close your eyes
And sing this song tonight:
Make it right, make it right, make it right

I was a leaf on the water floating downstream
Lost my direction in someone else's dream
'Til I saw you in the center
Just as still as a stone,
And you held my heart
And you helped me home
I feel like a runner
Running this race that never ends
Run on forever 'til I learn how to pretend
It's a long way to wisdom
It's a long run through the night
Run with me baby, we'll make it right

Make it right, all night long
When we're right,
Nothing can go wrong
So close your eyes
And sing this song tonight:
Make it right, make it right, make it right
Make it right, make it right, make it right
Make it right, make it right, make it right

This song appears on Tom Chapin's In The City Of Mercy CD.
