As the night moves in
Love takes on a new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to say
The circumstance leaves me only waiting
For the chance
I only want to love you more ... more
Can't you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it no
If you could only know my feelingsYou would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight
By my side
If you were with me now
When the lights go out
I can not pretend
This bed's too big for me
To be in alone all alone
Slow burn light a candle for our love ... love
So we?ll always be one to one in love ooh love
Can't you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it no
If you could only know my feelingsYou would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight oh love
By my side
If you were with me now
Every night alone I just wait here anticipating
For the day I won?t feel this pain baby
Please don't keep me waiting
Come to me
If you were here tonight
Ooh oh girl
Be by my side
Girl this bed?s too big for me
For me to be in all alone
All alone
(By my side)
Don't keep me waiting baby
If you were with me now
Oh oh ooh hold me girl all night
Want you for myself
Do me right
Got nobody else
All by myself
Got nobody else girl
This love is true
Please take me home
Be with you tonight
Give our love a light
Do just what you feel
Please don't be a tease
Girl I love you more
You're the one that I adore...
