Its Mines

My days are years
'Cause I don't see my baby till the stars are in the sky
& every night
When we can be together, time just seems to hurry by
CHORUS:
So Lord, I'm beggin' you to
Make the night (just a little longer)
Make the night (just a little longer)
So I can kiss him (just a little longer)
& hold him tight (just a little longer)
You made the world the way you thought it should be
So won't you make the night a little longer for me?
My nights are warm
'Cause when he hugs & holds me, everything just feels so fine
But Lord, you know
I hate to see the sunlight, takes away that man of mine
(chorus)
(Just a little longer, just a little longer)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
Then embrace his arms (just a little longer)
& all of his charms (just a little longer)
