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 you 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 adoration of slumber
Landin' random as lotto numbers
One on each eye
And, oops, one on your nose
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.
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
It's 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.
