JUST FOR TONIGHT

 

 

 

Put on soft music, turn down the light

for we are together and alone tonight.

Close the curtains, unplug the phone

just for tonight, lets stay alone.

Come up close, so I can see

there in your eyes, your love for me.

Let my lips caress your face

while we share a warm embrace.

Kiss me tenderly the time is right

for we are together and alone tonight.

Take my hand and lead me to

where I can give my love to you.

Hold your body, close to mine

just for tonight let’s make the time.

Set the passion in you free

as you give your love to me.

Stay in my arms, all through the night

for we are together and alone tonight.

Hello again and thanks for

Hello again and thanks for your continued encouragement. I wrote this one really to highlight how we often don't take the time, when we should! Maybe I'll give the singing a miss! Having said that I have a secret desire for one or two of my poems to be songs one day, so it's interesting you should say what you have. take care, Tim.
