Now the night has gone Now the night has gone away Doesn't seem that long We hardly had two words to say Hold me in your arms For just another day I promise this one will go slow, oh We have the right, you know We have the right, you know Don't say the morning's come Don't say the morning's come so soon Must we end this way When so much here is hard to lose Love is everywhere, I know it is Such moments as this are too few, oh It's all up to you It's all up to you Here I am The one that you love Askin' for another day Understand the one that you love Loves you in so many ways, ooh Tell me we can stay Tell me we can stay, oh please They are the words to say The only words I can believe Hold me in your arms For just another day I promise this one will go slow, oh We have the right, you know We have the right, you know Here I am The one that you love Askin' for another day Understand the one that you love Loves you in so many ways Here I am The one that you love Askin' for another day Understand the one that you love Loves you in so many ways The night has gone A part of yesterday I don't know what to say I don't know what to say Here I am The one that you love Askin' for another day Understand the one that you love Loves you in so many ways Here I am The one that you love Askin' for another day Understand the one that you love Loves you in so many ways Here I am The one that you love Askin' for another day Understand the one that you love Loves you in so many ways (Here I am)
