How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you

How I'd love to be alone with you

What I'd give to have the power to read your mind one hour

How I'd love to be alone with you

Just to be with you one night you and me alone

Kiss your lips and hold you tight and have you for my own

This would be a joy unending could be a real beginning

How I'd love to be alone with you

[ guitar - steel ]

How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you

How I'd love to be alone with you

If I only knew for certain I'd cut out all my flirtin' how I'd love to be alone with you

Just to be with you one night you and me alone

Kiss your lips and hold you tight and have you for my own

Won't you try to be my baby just for once and then well maybe

I could always be alone with you I could always be alone with you
