Just For Tonight


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.
