Lyrics
On a night like this, I'm so glad you came around
Now hold on to me so tight and heat up some coffee grounds
We got much to talk about and much to reminisce
It sure is right, on a night like this

On a night like this, I'm so glad you're here to stay
Hold on to me pretty miss and say you'll never go away to stray
Run your fingers down my spine and bring me a touch of bliss
It sure feels right on a night like this

On a night like this, I can't get any sleep
The air is so cold outside and the snow's so deep
Build a fire, throw on logs and listen to it hiss
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn on a night like this

Put your body next to mine
And keep me company
There is plenty a room for all
So please don't elbow me

Let the four winds blow around this old cabin door
If I'm not too far off I think we did this once before
There's more frost on the window glass with each new tender kiss
And it sure feels right on a night like this

J'ai mis du temps avant d'accrocher à ce morceau.
Je commençais d'ailleurs souvent "Planet Waves" à partir du 3ème morceau.

Et puis, comme souvent avec Bob, j'ai fini par retomber dessus et tomber amoureux à cause d'une simple tournure de phrase : "And let it burn, burn, burn, burn on a night like this"
Sa meilleure imitation de Johnny Cash !
Depuis, je l'écoute volontiers en début de soirée estivale, un verre de vin à la main !
