Friday night, it was late,
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate,
And I was dreaming of the night.

Would it turn out right
How to tell you, girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true.
I wanna make you understand
I'm talkin' about a lifetime plan.

That's the way it began,
We were hand in hand.
Glenn miller's band was better than before.
We yelled and screamed for more
And the porter tunes (night and day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home
I promised you'd never be alone

Hurry, don't be late,
I can hardly wait,
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing

Friday night, it was late,
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate,
And I was dreaming of the night.

Would it turn out right
Now as the years roll on,
Each time we hear our favorite song,
The memories come along.
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing

Hurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing
