Alexander O’Neal – If You Were Here Tonight lyrics
As the night moves in
Love takes on a new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to sayThe circumstance leaves me only waiting
For the chance
I only want to love you more, moreCan’t you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It’s not the way I planned it, no
If you could only know my feelings,
You would know how much I do believeIf you were here tonight
By my side
If you were with me nowWhen the lights go out
I can not pretend
This bed’s too big, for me,
To be in alone, all aloneSlow burn, light a candle for our love, love
So we’ll always be, one to one in love, ooh loveCan’t you understand it
Girl you know how much I care,
It’s not the way I planned it, no no no
If you could only know my feelings,
You would know how much I do believeIf you were here tonight, oh love
By my side
If you were with me nowEvery night alone I just wait here anticipating
For the day I won’t feel this pain baby
Please don’t keep me waiting
Come to meIf you were here tonight
Ooh oh girl
Be by my side
If you were with me nowGirl this bed’s too big for me
For me to be in all alone
All alone by my side
Don’t keep me waiting baby
