My days are years 'coz I don't see my baby
Till the stars are in the sky
And every night when we can be together
Time just seems to hurry by

So Lord, I'm begging you to make the night
(Just a little longer)
Make the night
(Just a little longer)

So I can kiss him
(Just a little longer)
And hold him tight
(Just a little longer)

Now you made the world
The way you thought it should be
But won't you make the night a little longer for me

My nights are warm
'Coz when he comes and holds me
Everything just feels so fine
Lord, you know, I hate to see the sunrise
It takes away that man of mine

So Lord I'm begging you to make the night
(Just a little longer)
Oh, make the night
(Just a little longer)

So I can kiss him
(Just a little longer)
And maybe hold him tight
(Just a little longer)
(Just a little longer)
(Just a little longer)

So Lord, I'm begging you to make the night
(Just a little longer)
Oh, make the night
(Just a little longer)

Oh, so I can kiss him
(Just a little longer)
And maybe hold him tight
(Just a little longer)

Oh, make the night
(Just a little longer)
Just a little bit longer
(Just a little longer)
