For tonight

Just for tonight, hold my hand,
Touch my soul, just be mine.

Just for tonight, hold me close,
Hear my heart, never let go.

Just for tonight, enfold me in your arms,
Hold me tight, just till morn.

Just for tonight, lay by my side,
Let gentle whispers caress our mind.

Just for tonight, see the moon rise,
Feel the awe at the magical light.

Just for tonight, let me dream,
Of silent nights and a sunbeam’s gleam.

Just for tonight, lend me courage,
To pray for memories till our dotage.

Just for tonight, help me forget,
The pain that love so often begets.

Just for tonight, let me sigh,
For the journey that remains shrouded in the night.

Just for tonight, let me cry,
Brush aside my tears, lest tomorrow be a lie.

Just for tonight, let me hope,
We’ll be together, forever more.
