When I close my eyes
And you're not there
I feel this emptiness inside
Do you care?
If you have to go
I'll understand
But the pain's so hard
To take when we're apart
You'll never see me cry
It's locked away
But there's this feeling
Deep within me wants to stay
And if you were here
Would things be right?
I need to find my way
Alone to win this fight
Stay with me tonight
One more time
Could make it right
One more chance
To hold you tight
Won't you stay with me
Tonight?
And there's just no point
In looking back
And finding fault
In everything we ever had
And the promises
We made with tears
Will always be with me in times
When you're not here
Stay with me tonight
One more time
Could make it right
One more chance
To hold you tight
Won't you stay with me
Babe?
Stay with me tonight
If I hold you close
No need to fight
I know that nothing I could say
Would make it right
If the chance has gone
Slipped away
Before you leave there's just one
Thing I've got to say
Stay with me tonight
One more time
Could make it right
One more chance
To hold you tight
Won't you stay with me
Babe?
For the rest of my life
Stay with me tonight
One more time
Could make it right
One more chance
To hold you tight
Won't you stay with me
Tonight?
