If It's Not Tonight

There it is, that old familiar fear in me again—

Telling me to run

When all I want to do is stay with you forever—

Forever in your arms would suit me fine.

I've taken many falls—and it's been love a time or two—

But I never landed next to one like you.

If it's not tonight,

It'll be some night.

Love won't be denied,

And the only question left is when

We'll finally give up and give in.

This feeling will get too strong to fight—

If it's not tonight.

I never had a dream that I could hold and not look back

When some sweet voice would call

Across a burning bridge and beg me risk the fire—

Risk the fire to give it one more try.

All I hear is the pounding of my hear beating for you—

It counts the time it takes to make this dream come true.

If it's not tonight,

It'll be some night.

Love won't be denied,

And the only question left is when

We'll finally give up and give in.

This feeling will get too strong to fight—

If it's not tonight.
