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 an 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 

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



--- Instrumental ---



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 

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 



How I'd love to be alone with you...
