You take your coat off and throw it on the floor
Night delivers you to my arms once more
You feel so familiar as you get into bed
Cigarette smoke halo around your head
You lean over and kiss me so sweet
Nobody wake me if this is a dream
I'm gonna build myself a summer home
Build myself a summer home in your arms
I kiss you with the languid admiration of slumber
Landing random as lotto numbers
One for each eye
And, oops, one on your nose
And ten for each of your cute little toes
You lean over and kiss me so sweet
Nobody wake me if this is a dream
I'm gonna build myself a summer home
Build myself a summer home in your arms
Some people build with wood and brick
Some people build with stone and stick
But I'm gonna build mine kiss by kiss
I'm gonna build myself a summer home
Build myself a summer home in your arms
I'm a bit of a mess and I'm gone too much
But when I'm away it's you I long to touch
And certain things remind me
It's such a special treat
As these little things that bring you to me
Like when you lean over and kiss me so sweet
Nobody wake me if this is a dream
I'm gonna build myself a summer home
Build myself a summer home
Build myself a summer home in your arms
Built with all your charms
