Close to me, close to my body I wear the color of the night
Movin’ past an old sad mem’ry
Dream-stars glimmer into sight
Oh, the sweet caress
Of my little black dress
Shapes a frame of mind
Hugs me, whispers “Yes”
Sometimes leads me to a lonely mess
But I still cling to my little black dress
Hope is woven in the silky knit
Texture of my heart’s desire Time has softened all the edges Walking back into the fire…fire Oh, the sweet caress Of my little black dress Shapes a frame of mind Hugs me, whispers “Yes” Opens up a lovely mess So I cling to my little black dress This dress brings out the best in me Never lets me down Like the man I ‘m yearnin’ for Stays close around Sweet caress of my little black dress Shapes a frame of mind Brings me to the test And I’ll brave the mess If he’ll cling to my little black dress If he’ll cling to my little black dress
