Lyrics
To be alone with you
To have private moments with the person being addressed
Just you and me
In solitude, just the speaker and the addressed person
Now won't you tell me true
Requesting honesty from the addressed person
Ain't that the way it oughta be
Expressing a desire for things to be as they should
To hold each other tight
To embrace closely and intimately
The whole night through
Throughout the entire night
Everything is always right
Everything feels right in this intimate setting
When I'm alone with you
The speaker feels content when alone with the addressed person
To be alone with you
Reiteration of the desire to be alone with the addressed person
At the close of the day
At the end of the day
With only you in view
With only the addressed person in focus
While evening slips away
As the evening passes by
It only goes to show
Highlighting that life's pleasures are scarce
That while life's pleasures be few
Emphasizing that the addressed person is the only pleasure known
The only one I know
The speaker finds joy only when alone with the addressed person
Is when I'm alone with you
Reiteration of the joy of being alone with the addressed person
They say that nighttime is the right time
Referring to nighttime as the ideal time to be with a loved one
To be with the one you love
Expressing the rightness of being with the one you love at night
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
Daytime is hindered by too many thoughts, unlike the clarity of night
But you're always what I'm thinkin' of
The addressed person is always on the speaker's mind
I wish the night were here
Expressing a wish for nighttime to arrive
Bringin' me all of your charms
Nighttime brings the addressed person's charms
When only you are near
Feeling complete when the addressed person is close
To hold me in your arms
Desiring to be held in the arms of the addressed person
I'll always thank the Lord
Gratitude towards a higher power when the workday ends
When my working day's through
A sweet reward is the opportunity to be alone with the addressed person
I get my sweet reward
The satisfaction of being alone with the addressed person
To be alone with you
Reiterating the joy of being alone with the addressed person
