Superman

by Mary Chapin Carpenter

Lyrics
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'll understand
Tonight you'll be my Superman

No confessions now or later
Hold me because 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

No confessions now or later
Hold me because 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
Because I'm dressed to kill and you're Superman
