It's hard to realize we said our last goodbyes Where could the dream have gone to Now I know there's no way that I can make you stay No matter how I want to We made some memories that my heart will always treasure Before you close the door let's make one more Baby, just for tonight let me give myself to you And all I ask is just for tonight love me like you used to do And I promise that I won't cry, I won't ask you why I won't even try to change your feelings If you just hold me tight, just once more, just for tonight I thought the love we'd found Was built on solid ground And it would just grow stronger Crazy as it may seem I need to dream that dream For just, just a little longer So for the sake of all that magic we made together Open your heart to mine just one more time Baby, just for tonight let me give myself to you And all I ask is just for tonight love me like you used to do And I promise that I won't cry, I won't ask you why I won't even try to change your feelings If you just hold me tight, just once more, just for tonight All I want is one more night So why don't you come to me, let me dream This night means everything to me All I ask is for tonight Baby just hold me tight Come to me, let me dream This night means everything to me
