Dear Tonight

So it's 9 p.m, I just got in

And the lines you traced with your fingertips are still there

You refused to let me go, let me leave

And I almost cried aloud

That I love you so but this is killing me tonight

Hold tight

It feels like you're the only thing keeping me alive

Like the fresh night air I need you there

To whisper

Dear I need you here

You're the only one

Who made me smile today

You're my saving grace and my worrying pace

Keeping me awake

Dear tonight

I rush up to my bed to get these words out of my head

Before I let a tear get the best of me tonight

It's not that I'm upset, it's just the fact

That I can't get enough of that smile

Those eyes

It feels like you're the only thing keeping me alive

Like the fresh night air I need you there

To whisper

Dear I need you here

You're the only one

Who made me smile today

You're my saving grace and my worrying pace

Keeping me awake

Dear tonight

I'll feel dead until our eyes next meet and your heartbeat awakes mine

But I'll be happy until the end of time just knowing that you're mine

So don't worry my dear, I'll be right here

As the lights dim to nights

Even though I have to go, just know

You're on my mind dear

Tonight.
