Why Don't You Spend The Night
By: Ronnie Milsap
Intro: D G A7 D
D G
How did it get so late, where did the night go to
A7 D A7
Strange how it slips away when I'm with you
D G
I know it's almost two, I know you should leave, but wait
A7 D A7
I've thought it over and there's something I gotta say.
Chorus:
D G
Why don't you spend the night? Somehow it seems so right
A7 D A7
Why does it have to end so soon, please stay 'til the morning light
D G
It's such a long way home, and you'd only be alone
A7 D
Ah, come on now, why don't you spend the night?
D G
Maybe I spoke too soon and maybe my timing's wrong
A7 D A7
Or maybe it's something I shouldn't have said at all
D G
But when I look in your eyes, I feel like we're almost one
A7 D A7
Ah, something tells me the night's only just begun.
chorus: then add a Bb7 before the next chorus
chorus: 1/2 step up (D-Eb, G-Ab, A7-Bb7)
Eb, Ab, Bb7, Eb, Bb7, Eb--fade
