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