Lyrics
It's just after midnight
Setting the scene; the time is just after midnight.
It's just you and me
Expressing intimacy; only the speaker and the other person are present.
The lights are turned down
The ambiance is subdued; lights are dimmed, creating a private atmosphere.
But you' re the only one I see
Despite the dimness, the speaker's focus is solely on the other person.
It's getting cold now
Temperature drops, emphasizing the need for emotional warmth.
You keep me warm all night
Metaphorical warmth provided by the other person throughout the night.
Tell me everything
Inviting open communication; the speaker wants to know the other's thoughts.
Tell me what's on your mind
Encouraging the other person to share their feelings and thoughts.
Please don't you go
Plea for the other person not to leave.
Wait until it dawns
Asking the other person to wait until morning.
Don't want this night to end
Expressing a desire for the night to continue; not wanting it to end.
I'll hold you close
A promise to hold the other person closely.
Please don't you leave
Reiterating the request for the other person not to leave.
There's no guarantee
Acknowledging uncertainty; no guarantee in the relationship.
But Babe can't you see
Despite uncertainty, the speaker wants the other person to see their love.
The way you look at me
Describing the gaze from the other person as unbelievable.
It's not believable
The intensity of the other person's gaze is hard to believe.
You find the right words
The other person always finds the right words to make the speaker feel visible.
To make me feel so visible
Expressing appreciation for the other person's communication skills.
Please don't you go
Repeating the plea for the other person not to leave.
Wait until it dawns
Reiterating the request to wait until morning.
Don't want this night to end
Reaffirming the desire for the night to continue.
I'll hold you close
Reassurance of physical closeness during the night.
Please don't you leave
Repeating the request for the other person not to leave.
There's no guarantee
Reiterating the acknowledgment of uncertainty in the relationship.
But Babe can't you see
Reaffirming the desire for the other person to see the speaker's love.
Would you stay another day
Asking if the other person would stay for another day if requested.
If I ask you to
Pleading with the other person not to walk away.
Don't walk away
Emphasizing the desire for the other person to stay.
Please don' t you go
Repeating the plea for the other person not to go.
Wait until it dawns
Reiterating the request to wait until morning.
Don't want this night to end
Reaffirming the wish for the night to continue.
I'll hold you close
Reassurance of physical closeness during the night.
Please don't you leave
Repeating the request for the other person not to leave.
There's no guarantee
Reiterating the acknowledgment of uncertainty in the relationship.
But Babe can' t you see
Reaffirming the desire for the other person to see the speaker's love.
Hold me close
Expressing a strong desire for physical closeness; a plea to be held close.
Hold me close
Repeating the plea to be held close for emphasis.
Hold me close
Continued emphasis on the desire for physical closeness.
So close
Intensifying the plea for proximity; wanting to be extremely close.
