Lyrics
I'm gonna sing a song right about now
And this happens to be one of my favorite songs of all times
I really enjoy singing this song, and
And I'm gonna enjoy singing it for you tonight
Let's do this song, a little pretty song entitled
"If You Were Here With Me Tonight"
We're gonna turn the lights down, make 'em real nice and easy
Turn the lights down low
He goes, "No, you know we can't do that"
That's why I said it, because I know you can't do it
Well, I know what, you know how to shut me up, Lord
Listen, this song was written by another Minneapolis
Very famous Minneapolis songwriter
Mr. Monte Moir, formerly of the time
Gave me one of the biggest songs
Listen
I'm all by myself
Got nobody else
Girl, this love is strong
Please take me home
Be with me talking tonight
Make our love alright
Do just what you need
That's where we go
Ah, what a wonderful life
As the night moves in
Love takes on new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to say
But circumstance
Leaves me only waiting
(And most of the time I'm waiting right here)
For the chance
I only want to love you more, more
Can't you understand it?
Girl, you know how much I care
Oh, it's not the way I planned it
And if you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight
All night
By my side
If you were with me now
(And here's another thing that's very important)
When the lights go out
I can not pretend
(You wanna know why?)
This bed's too big for me
To be being all alone, girl
(Ship, look here, here's another one)
Slow burn
We'll light a candle for our love
When it's love
So we'll always be
(One to one)
One to one in love
(Oh no! Tell me)
Can't you understand it?
Girl, you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight
All night
By my side
If you were with me now
Come on down
This bed's too big for me
To be being all alone
Don't keep me waiting, baby
If you were here tonight, oh
(Come on, back)
If you were here with me
If you were here with me
If you were here with me
Gon', gon', gon', gon' get your love
If you were here tonight
If you were here with me tonight
Thank you
That was one of my favorites
