You know that I hate to say goodbye
It always leaves my mouth so dry
Seems every time we slide onto our bed
Yeah the twilight pushes by
I realize that it's selfishness, wishing the world would go away
And leave us here, side by side

If you stay closer tonight, tomorrow never has to know
If you stay closer tonight, then baby, we can take it slow
If you stay closer tonight, I won't allow the moon to change its glow
If you stay closer tonight

Darling I know that we follow our own dreams
And we have to separate
Why does it always have to hurt this bad when you leave me once again
I recognize that its loneliness, taking the place of this emptiness
Next to me, when you're gone

If you stay closer tonight, tomorrow never has to know
If you stay closer tonight, then baby we can take it slow
If you stay closer tonight, I won't allow the moon to change its glow
Whoa, yeah

Hold me close to you all night long
Don't let go 'til we see it's dawn
Yeah, hold me strong, all night long

If you stay closer tonight
If you stay closer tonight
If you stay closer tonight, I won't allow the moon to change its glow

If you stay closer tonight, tomorrow never has to know
If you stay closer tonight, then baby we can take it slow
If you stay closer tonight, I won't allow the moon to change its glow

If you stay closer tonight
If you stay closer tonight
If you stay closer tonight
If you stay closer tonight
If you stay closer tonight
