just to be with you tonight.

it's almost midnight,
and i'm dying to be next to you.
i would give anything if
i could turn out the light,
and gaze into the bluest eyes,
and know that everything's alright.

lying close to you,
under heaven's skies,
adorned with a thousand glistening stars,
so beautiful and bright,
but i would trade them all away
just to be with you tonight.

cold are these sheets, and
empty is this bed.
i'm sick with an aching, wasting grief,
an overwhelming sense of dread.
only when i'm in the safety of your arms,
do i find any sort of relief.

surrounded by so much beauty,
but tonight it doesn't mean a thing,
i would trade it all
just to have you beside me,
instead of this desperate emptiness,
this vacant, cold set of sheets,

i'd give my life for just a moment,
just to see you smile,
to hear you say my name just one more time.
i would sacrifice all i have,
darling, i would die,
just to be with you tonight.
