Sweetheart we're alone And you are mine Let's make this night a night to remember Don't make our love a cold dying ember For with the dawn, you'll be gone Hold me close in your arms as the night withers away Let's not waste one precious kiss while we're together Oh please come to my arms and say you'll love me forever For with the dawn, you'll be gone Sweetheart when you're near My heart is aflame Your lips pressed on mine is heaven descending And I could die because it is ending For with the dawn, you'll be gone Let these passions we feel in our hearts never end I could never share this feeling with another Oh please say that you feel the same knowing no other ?? For with the dawn, you'll be gone For with the dawn, you'll be gone For with the dawn, you'll be gone For with the dawn, you'll be gone
