Without you in my life every night seemed like a lifetime.

The clock on the wall never seemed to move at all
Or was it just my mind.
Now with you here in my arms, I wanna make it last
But the time is flying by and the morning's coming fast.

[Chorus]
Where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, when I wanna kiss you and hold you tight
Is this what love feels like? Your heart beats like thunder
Every moment you wonder, where do the nights go?
Where do the nights, where do the nights go?

If I had a time machine, I'd make the daylight seem like fleeting
Moments
And every single night would be exactly like the night that we spent
But it won't be long until I'm alone with my desire
'Cause the stars are going out and my heart is still on fire,
Tell me where do the nights go, when I'm with you
Where do the nights go, where do the nights,
Where do the nights go?

[Chorus]

Now with you here in my arms, I wanna make it last
But the time is flying by and the morning's coming fast, tell me.

[Chorus]
