The hour is very late, And I can see you're getting worried Coffee's finished, candles low And soon you'll be asleep. Long walk on the night is chilly And my room is cozy I've got a feeling, You won't be leaving tonight. Never thought to ask you Why you really came to see me Was it just the picture pinned So neatly on the wall? Candle lights place shadows Of your figure on the ceiling I've got a feeling You won't be leaving at all. I don't try to fight it, baby I see the lovelight in your eyes Just hold me tight then baby You'll see that I'm not tellin' lies. Never thought to ask you Why you really came to see me Was it just the picture pinned So neatly on the wall? Candle lights place shadows Of your figure on the ceiling I've got a feeling You won't be leaving, at all. I've got a feeling You won't be leaving, at all. I've got a feeling You won't be leaving, at all. I've got a feeling You won't be leaving, tonight.
