____Verse: 1
Sometimes late at night____
when the shadows made by street lamps
cast a darkened silver light___
you'll drift into my mind___
reminding me of all___I've lost
and all I've yet to find___
so many things I know I___should have told you
now what I wouldn't give___if I___could___hold___you___
____Chorus:
If you were here with me tonight
this time I'd never let it end
we'd find those feelings we once had
and feel them all again
we'd make love stronger than before____
and give each other even more___
and finally find a way to make it right____
if you were here with me tonight____
here with me tonight____________________
____Verse: 2
Somehow now I see____
how time can soften even
the most painful memory____
now what we had is gone____
and the sooner I believe___in that
the sooner I'll go on____
but love like ours___comes___just once in a lifetime
so I tell myself it just wasn't the right time
____Chorus:
If you were here with me tonight
this time I'd never let it end
we'd find those feelings we once had
and feel them all again
we'd make love stronger than before____
and give each other even more___
and finally find a way to make it right____
if you were here with me tonight____
here with me tonight
____Bridge:
The minutes seem____like____hours
how long before the light of day
helps to chase these thoughts away______
____Chorus:
If you were here with me tonight
this time I'd never let it end
we'd find those feelings we once had
and feel them once again
we'd make love stronger than before
and give each other even more
and finally find a way to make it right___
if you were here with me tonight
if you were here with me tonight
if only you were here with me tonight
here_____with_____me________
to_______night______________________________________
