There¡¯s a tenderness that I feel, it¡¯s very real you see
I can feel your body stir so deep within
Let it be an out of love tonight completely
And let me ask of you one thing

Don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
Don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight

Well you can lie so close to someone and still feel alone
And though I heard you say you loved me so many times
While you give me love so beautiful and tender
Someone else is in your mind

Don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
Don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight

Sorry if I cry - feelings run so deep
Many is a time when I¡¯ll wake up and find
That I¡¯m crying in my sleep
Look me in the eye, tell me what you see
I¡¯m the one who loves you, I¡¯m the one who needs you
Make this one for me

Don¡¯t close youe eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
Don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight
