Tonight Is Just For Us

Let me take you to the waterfront

The mist will wash away those tears

And if you say it's OK, I'll hold your hand 'til this clears

Do I take it she's hurt you again

This time more painful than before?

I wish I had the nerve to tell her

You don't want no more

CHORUS

'Cause, boy, I love you

More than you'll ever know if the truth be said

These feelings that I'm holding back

Make me more than just a friend

But I can never tell the truth

'Cause I don't want to lose your trust

I know that if you went away

My heart would turn to dust

The walls between us were not made to keep

The sound of crying to themselves

And it's another night of wasted dreams you'll defend

I came so close to telling you today

Boy, you just take those dreams and run

But my selfish heart couldn't say those words

Was that so wrong?

CHORUS

Your kitchen light shines onto my back yard

Your shadow paces back and forth

I sit here in the darkness with my

Strange collection of thoughts

But wait a moment, am I in a dream?

Is that the sound of your back door?

And with a flickering shadow of conscience our eyes hold

CHORUS

Yes, tonight, maybe I'll tell the truth

Please, don't let me lose your trust

Tonight, I'll not send you away

Tonight is just for us
