When the Air Turns Cool

The sun is sitting lower now

The shadows stretch along

A little breeze has found its way

And brought the evening on

You pull your sweater closer

I move a little near

Funny how the changing weather

Makes everything feel dear

When the air turns cool

Stay a little closer

There’s still time before the evening

Takes the light away

When the air turns cool

I don’t mind the weather

There’s something nice about a day

That makes you want to stay

The park is getting quieter

The tables nearly bare

A few more leaves are on the ground

A softness fills the air

We’ve talked about most everything

And nothing much at all

But somehow I could sit with you

Until the evening falls

When the air turns cool

Stay a little closer

There’s still time before the evening

Takes the light away

When the air turns cool

I don’t mind the weather

There’s something nice about a day

That makes you want to stay

I used to miss the summer

When the warmer days were through

But lately I’ve been thinking

I like this season too

Maybe it’s the quieter streets

Maybe it’s the view

Or maybe colder afternoons

Are warmer here with you

When the air turns cool

Stay a little closer

Let the evening find us here

With nowhere else to go

When the air turns cool

We’ll take our time together

And if the night comes early

We can let it come in slow
