I kissed her on her apple red cheek, She winked and called me darlin’
I’d only known her for a seventh of a week, She said “Stay with me till morning”
Chorus: The sun goes down and then the sun comes up and the world spins round
on our fingers.
I kissed her on her plum red lips, She smiled and called me darlin’
The air was like a wine to be sipped, I said ” I’d stay till morning”
Chorus
I kissed her on her shoulder bare, She sighed and called me darlin’
She ran her fingers through my hair, She said “You’ve got to stay till morning”
Chorus
I kissed her on her belly so warm, She moaned and called me darlin’
The weatherman spoke of tropical storms before the rise of morning
Chorus
I kissed her on her soft white thigh, She couldn’t quite call me darlin’
The air was hot and the seas were high as we set sail for morning
Chorus
I kissed her in the steamy south She screamed at the equator
Not a word came from my mouth but it seemed to agitate her
Chorus
The nights were short and the days were long that summer in the islands
All our words turned into song and our mouths couldn’t keep from smilin’
Chorus
