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
  
   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
  
   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
  
   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
  
   Tonight the minutes seem like hours
   How long before the light of day
   Helps to chase these thoughts away
