Lyrics If You Were Here Tonight - Alexander O'Neal

As the night moves in
Love takes on a new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to say

The circumstance leaves me only waiting
For the chance
I only want to love you more, more

Can't you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe

If you were here tonight
By my side
If you were with me now

When the lights go out
I can not pretend
This bed's too big all for me
To be in alone all alone, oh-oh
Slow burn light a candle for our love, love
So we'll always be one to one in love, oh love

Can't you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no no no no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight, oh love
By my side
If you were with me now

Every night alone I just wait here anticipating
For the day I won't feel this pain baby
Please don't keep me waiting
Come to me
If you were here tonight
Ooh-oh girl
Be by my side
If you were with me now, yeah yeah

Girl this bed's too big for me (with me now)
For me to be in all alone
All alone
Don't keep me waiting baby (by my side)
If you were with me now
Oh-oh-ooh hold me girl all night

Want you for myself
Do me right
Got nobody else
All by myself
Got nobody else
Girl this love is true
Please take me home
Be with you tonight
Make our love a light

Do just what you feel
Please don't be a tease
Girl I love you more
You're the one that I adore...
Don't leave me lonely
Cold by myself
All alone tonight
To fend for myself
