I know you loved him
a long time ago
Even now in my arms
you still want him I know
But darlin' this time
let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
in some fantasy
Darlin' just once
let yesterday go
you'll find more love
than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool
holdin' on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
knowin' he's in your mind
But I keep hopin' some day
that you'll see the light
Let it be here tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
in some fantasy
Darlin' just once
let yesterday go
you'll find more love
than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight
when you love me tonight
and don't close your eyes
