Each day goes by, doing all the simple things I must It takes most all that I have, waiting only for the nights We'll be together, darling Who knows what little time, we have baby Let's make each minute seem, like it could be our last one alive Hold me real close, till I know you can feel every beat of my heart Turn out the light, let me stay here tonight Keeping just as we are Lying beside you, alone in the dark Brings me closer to you, darling with every beat of my heart As daylight comes, the morning steals the shadows from your face Soon I'll be far on my way, taking along this memory With me wherever I go, darling Whatever little time we share, baby There's not a minute, I don't realise just how much I care Hold me real close, till I know you can feel every beat of my heart Turn out the light, let me stay here tonight Keeping just as we are Lying beside you, alone in the dark Brings me closer to you, darling with every beat of my heart Closer to you darling, with every beat of my heart Lying beside you, alone in the dark Brings me closer to you, darling with every beat of my heart Hold me real close, till I know you can feel every beat of my heart Turn out the light, let me stay here tonight Keeping just as we are Lying beside you, alone in the dark Brings me closer to you, darling with every beat of my heart
