Producer: Terry Britten

Album: Break Every Rule (86)



I need you here beside me to chase the night away

I need your love to guide me safe through another day

I lie and watch the lights go down

Say goodnight to another town

And though it hurts to be alone

I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm



In the afterglow of your love

Dreamings all I'm guilty of

Everyday I'm playing tough

But read my mind



If you could see me now

Just living my life in a limbo

If you could see me now

The me that only you would know

Still burning in the afterglow



When the beat of the drum has faded

The show comes to an and

The stage is clear and loaded

And the highway calls again

I stand and watch the lights go down



In the afterglow of your love

Dreamings all I'm guilty of

Everyday I'm playing tough

But read my mind



If you could see me now

Just living my life in a limbo

If you could see me now

The me that only you would know

Still burning in the afterglow



Stay with me right to the end

Till I can hold you again
