When Some Nights

Take me back, to a time I remeber well
It's a fact, when your near
You know we could stop the world
If i'm wrong, then alright
You know it doesn't matter now
In my heart, you are mine
You know we're gonna make it somehow
You know we're gonna make it somehow
I can be anything, just for you I can make it right
Fortunes told in love's hearts, it doesn't have to keep us apart
I'm a soldier of fortune, fighting for a means to an end
If there's love in you eyes
It's only Gonna take one night
Say it's not over yet and remember
When some night you are lonely
You just call out my name
I will make you mine only
Make you mine only again
On the wings of a tear
You know we could ride the storm
Like desire, I was born
To give you everything and more
If you're a soldier of fortune
Fighting for a means to an end
If there's love in your eyes
It's plainer than the world we share
Yeah, say it's not over yet and remember
When some nights you are lonely
You just call out my name
And I'll be there beside you
And I'll make you mine only
When some night you are lonely
You just call out my name
I will make you mine only
Make you mine only again
Hold on to what you have
And not what you think is yours
Too many people stand there
Blinded by the light, they don't see.
Take me back to a time I remeber well
It's a fact, when you're near
You know we could stop the world
When some nights you are lonely
You just call out my name
And I'll be there beside you
And I'll make you mine only
When some night you are lonely
You just call out my name
I will make you mine only
Make you mine only again
