This ain't no passing fascination
This ain't no temporary state
This ain't no overnight sensation
And I'm prepared to wait
I'm not asking for forgiveness
I know the path that I must take
This ain't nobody else's business
And I have finally found my way
So let me hold you close, my darling
It's just you and me tonight
Let me hold you close, my darling
And you'll be mine until the morning light
I'll be the shoulder you can lean on
I'll be the hand that you can hold
I'll be the wings that you can fly on
I'll be the silver for your gold
And I would swim across the oceans
And I would walk a thousand miles
Just to be with you for one moment
And see that precious smile
So let me hold you close, my darling
It's just you and me tonight
Let me hold you close, my darling
And you'll be mine until the morning light
And I love, I love, I love, I love you, darling
And I love, I love, I love, I love you, darling
And I love, I love, I love, I love you, darling
And I love, I love, I love, I love you, darling
So let me hold you close, my darling
It's just you and me tonight
Let me hold you close, my darling
And you'll be mine until the morning light
So let me hold you close, my darling
It's just you and me tonight
Let me hold you close, my darling
And you'll be mine until the morning light
Mine until the morning light
Mine until the morning light
