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
