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
