Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

Moonlight, firelight and a riverside dance frame a direct invitation to intimacy. The narrator's apparent cool gives way to a racing heart and the fear of losing someone he wants close. Melody and harmony become the image of two people finding their place together, like songbirds sharing the same tree.

COOL KIND OF LOVE

INTRO/CHORUS

We got a Cool Kind Of Love

A Cool Kind Of Love

Coo like a dove, babe

We got a Cool Kind Of Love

Come and spend the night

Under the  moonlight

Starlight in your eyes

Born to hypnotize

Blue Bayou tonight

Music is alright

We got a Cool Kind Of Love

Baby, hold me tight

Babe, you make me shake

My heart is an earthquake

Wrap me up in your love

Or my heart is gonna break

A blue note kind of night

Dancing firelight

You’re the one I’m dreaming of

We got a Cool Kind Of Love

CHORUS

We got a Cool Kind Of Love

A Cool Kind Of Love

Coo like a dove, babe

We got a Cool Kind Of Love

Dance with me baby

Feel the music and the beat

A little later, maybe

You can sweep me off my feet

Movin’ deep inside

By the Riverside

Takin’ it so slow

Baby, wanna go, go, go

You’re a melody

I’m a harmony

Like 2 little songbirds

Way up in a tree

Baby how you move me

Oh, won’t you get into me

Shining stars forever

So cool we are together

CHORUS

We got a Cool Kind Of Love

A Cool Kind Of Love

Coo like a dove, babe

We got a Cool Kind Of Love
