Tonight



I want to be among the stars tonight

I know it's too far from you...
To hear you smile,
To feel you talk,
To see your eyes...

I wish I were among the stars tonight
Maybe you'll walk down the lane
like we've done a thousand times
and look up at the sky
and smile at me...

That'll do for a lifetime
my love…for my lifetime.
A smile will do if it's from you.
I want to be amongst the stars tonight,
It's cold and it's lonely…
But your smile will do.

I wish I were amongst the stars tonight.
