I try but I can't seem to get myself to think of
Anything but you
Your breath on my face your warm gentle kiss I taste
The truth, I taste the truth
We know what I came here for
So I won't ask for more

I want to be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I want to be with you

So I'll hold you tonight like I would if you were mine
To hold forevermore
And I'll savor each touch that I've wanted so much
To feel before, to feel before
How beautiful it is
Just to be like this

I want to be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I want to be with you

Oh, baby
I can't fight this feeling anymore
Drives me crazy when I try to
So call my name and take my hand
Can you make my wish, baby, your command?
Yeah

I want to be with you
If only for a night
To be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight
I want to be with you
There's nothing more to say
There's nothing else I want more than to feel this way
I want to be with you
