Just for tonight

Just for tonight can we be together?

So I can see your angel - like face

I think i'd kill to be with you

Will you invite me back to your place?

Just for tonight, could something please go my way?

That's all I am asking oh please.

As Mr Smith once said, and I'd say to you

Will you please 'kiss me, kiss me, kiss me?'

Just for tonight can I cradle you in my arms?

Maybe we could curl up on your settee.

Perhaps our lips could gently touch

and we could sit and watch the TV

Just for tonight tell me how much i mean to you.

and I will pour us another glass of wine.

Feel free to turn the channel over.

I'm not really watching, i'll think you'll find.

Just for tonight will you stare deep into my eyes

and show the passion the way i wish you would.

and after that perhaps we can dim the lights

before they get turned out for good.

Thank you

Thank you for your kind words Jayne. I was very nervous about posting it, but my sister really pushed me and has been great support. I am currently compiling a book of my work which I have titled "Tingling hearts and the melancholy shroud - a book of love, hate and despair". I will post some more if you like? Thank you again for being so kind. Millage xx
