Alexander O'Neal - If You Were Here Tonight [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
As the night moves in
Love takes on new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to say
Circumstance
Leaves me only waiting
For the chance
I only want to love you more, more

[Pre Chorus]
Can't you understand it
Girl, you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe

[Chorus]
If you were here tonight
By my side
If you were with me now

[Verse 2]
When the lights go out
I can not pretend
This bed's too big
All for me to be in alone, all alone
Slow burn
Light a candle for our love, love
So we'll always be
One to one in love, oh

[Pre Chorus]
Can't you understand it
Girl, you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe

[Chorus]
If you were here tonight, all night
By my side
If you were with me now

[Verse 3]
Every night alone I just wait here anticipating
For the day I won't feel this pain, baby
Please don't keep me waiting
Come to me

[Chorus]
If you were here tonight, oh girl
Be by my side
If you were with me now

Girl, this bed's too big for me
For me to be in all alone
All alone
Don't keep me waiting, baby
If you were with me now
Oh oh ooh hold me girl
All night

To fend for myself
Girl, do me right
Got nobody else
All by myself
Got nobody else
Girl this love is strong
Please turn me on
I'll be with you tonight
Make our love alright

Do just what you feel
Please don't be a tease
Girl, I love you more
You're the one that I adore
Don't leave me lonely
Cold by myself
All alone tonight
To fend for myself
