Late yesterday night, I saw a light shine from a window, And as I looked again, Your face came into sight. I couldn't walk on Until you'd gone from your window. I had to make you mine, I knew you were the one. Oh, I would be so glad Just to have a love like that, Oh, I would be so true And I'd live my life for you. So meet me tonight, Just where the light shines from a window, And as I take your hand, Say that you'll be mine tonight. Oh, I would be so glad Just to have a love like that, Oh, I would be true And I'd give my life for you. So meet me tonight, Just where the light shines from a window, And as I take your hand, Say that you'll be mine tonight.
