Makin’ love in the Carolina sunset

Verse I

 

The sky turns a hot shade of orange.

The sun sets in your skin.

As the world keeps on turnin’

The green glint of your eyes makes me smile.

The whisper of your breath in my ear.

Is the only sound I hear.

‘Cause you’re the one for me.

And every time I remind myself.

I feel so damn lucky.

 

Chorus

 

Makin’ love in the Carolina sunset.

You’re the only thing I see.

The sky above ain’t got nothin’

On your spectacular beauty.

 

Verse II

 

The breeze blows through the grass now.

My fingers run down your skin.

It’s getting deep in the evening.

But my darlin’ we’re only just beginning.

I feel your love, deep as my southern heart.

Your caress shinin’ in the dimming light.

You take me in with the gaze of an angel.

I couldn’t resist you even if I tried.

You’re all I ever wished for.

 

Chorus

 

Makin’ love in the Carolina sunset.

You’re the only thing I see.

The sky above ain’t got nothin’.

On your spectacular beauty.

 

Verse III

 

Give yourself to me, baby.

Loose yourself in me.

I could never have imagined.

I could be this happy.

Your tenderness this late in the evening.

Your sweetness underneath my palm.

This perfection fell straight from the stars.

Right into my lucky arms.

And it could be you and me.

 

 

 

Chorus

 

Makin’ love in the Carolina sunset.

You’re the only thing I see.

The sky above ain’t got nothin’.

On your spectacular beauty.
