Superman - Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 understand

Tonight you’ll be my Superman

No confessions now or later

Hold me 'cause 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 'cause 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

'Cause I’m dressed to kill and you’re Superman
