Let's Make Tonight the Night
Unspoken Longings: A Tale of Love Beyond Reach
Lyrics
I see the way he treats you
I observe how he treats you
I feel the tears you cry
I sense the tears you shed
And it makes me sad and it makes me mad
His actions sadden and anger me
There's nothin' I can do, baby
I feel helpless; there's nothing I can do, baby
'Cause your lover is my best friend
Your lover is also my best friend
And I guess that's where the story ends
Our connection ends here, and it's a source of sadness
So I've gotta try to keep it inside
I must try to conceal my feelings
You'll never be, never be mine
You will never be mine
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
If I were the one loving you, your tears would be joyful
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
Your only sorrow would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
If I were with you, loneliness would be unknown
You'd never know one lonely night
I'd provide love in my embracing arms
If it was my arms you were running to
If you sought comfort in my arms
I'd give you love in these arms of mine
I'd express love with these arms of mine
If I was the one in your life
If I were the one in your life
If I could have just one wish
If I had one wish
I'd wish that you were mine
I'd wish for you to be mine
I would hold you near, kiss away those tears
I'd comfort you, kiss away your tears
I'd be so good to you, baby
I'd treat you well, baby
You're the one I want next to me
You're the one I desire next to me
But I guess that's just not meant to be
However, fate doesn't seem to allow that
He's there in your life, he's sharing your nights
He's present in your life, sharing your nights
I'll never be, never be, never be right
I'll never be right, never be the one
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
If I were the one loving you, your tears would be joyful
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
Your only sorrow would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
If I were by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
You'd never experience a lonely night
I want to reach out and feel you beside me, beside me
I yearn to touch and feel you beside me
Right here, right now, right beside me baby, baby
Here and now, right beside me, baby
And take you in my arms right now
I want to hold you and declare my love loudly
And scream I love you right out loud
I want to express my love boldly
And then someday I'll pray I'll find
Someday, I hope to find the strength
I'll find the strength to turn to you and say
To turn to you and confess
But if I was the one who was loving you, baby
If I were the one loving you, your tears would be joyful
The only tears you'd cry would be tears of joy
Your only sorrow would be tears of joy
And if I was by your side
If I were by your side
You'd never know one lonely night
You'd never experience a lonely night
If I was the one, if I was the one, the one
If I were the one, if I were the one, the one
If I was the one in your life
If I were the one in your life
