on the first night I ever saw you

from the first time I ever felt your skin

I figured things a little strange

as I began to rearrange myself

when the first sunlight started to appear

I would turn to see if you were here



I harbored not a single doubt

just had to find what you're about inside

I couldn't seem to say good night

until I heard you say alright to me



excuse me, my dear - I just had to say

it's hell without you here

and all my dreams are full of fear

but there's honesty anyway



the first time I knew I made a choice

is when I heard the low-down

sullen sound of your voice



I harbored not a single doubt

just had to find what you're about inside

I couldn't seem to say good night

until I heard you say alright to me



excuse me, my dear - I just had to say

it's hell without you here

and all my dreams are full of fear

but there's honesty anyway



just had to let you know

feels like hell when you're not home

and I sleep alone

but there's honesty anyway
