[Verse 1]
I have to say, my faith in you is shaken
You haven't replaced the love that you have taken
But, boy, you came near it tonight
I haven't seen that look for such a long time
I've yet to feel what could be called "peace of mind"
I came near it tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
For I've floated high on silver wings
Felt the rush of spring
[Chorus]
No more
My lonely room tonight
I'm yours tonight for sure
No more
My lonely room tonight
I'm yours tonight for sure
[Verse 2]
The hand of time moves on, it'll soon be daybreak
I'll lie beside you watching 'til you awake
Sleep soundly tonight
For life is but a dream and soon is broken
And words are but a scream and better unspoken
And silence isn't easy tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
For I've floated high on silver wings
Felt the rush of spring
[Chorus]
No more
My lonely room tonight
I'm yours tonight for sure
No more
My lonely room tonight
I'm yours tonight for sure
[Outro]
And if wisdom comes of this
Then unlock it with a kiss
For I never knew that love from you
Could hurt me anymore
My lonely life tonight is yours tonight for sure
