Just for tonight
I'll remember you,
Go back in time
to when love was new:

I'll let go of today;
let memories flow,
Reliving the feelings
of times long ago.

Then I'll meet
with you in the silent land
And see you smile
as I reach out my hand:

Just for a while
your presence I'll feel,
Safe in your arms,
pretending you're real.

I cannot stay long,
so it is with regret
That I whisper goodbye
but never forget,

Though many years pass
and keep us apart
Each day that goes by
you're still in my heart.

And when darkness falls
and sleep beckons me,
I'll call out your name
and hope that maybe,

Just for tonight,
in my dreams you'll appear,
And when I awaken
I'll still feel you near.
