[Verse 1]
As the night moves in
Love takes on new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to say
But circumstance
Leaves me only waiting
For the chance
I only want to love you more, more
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you understand it?
Girl, you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no, no, no, no, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
[Chorus]
If you were here tonight, all night
By my side
If you were with me now
[Verse 2]
Slow burn
We'll light a candle for our love, love
So we'll always be
One to one, one to one, one to one in love
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't you understand it?
Girl, you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no, no, no, no, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
[Chorus]
If you were here tonight, all night
By my side
If you were here tonight
If you were here with me
