 ____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________
