Verse 1

I can't sleep nights

Wishing you were here beside me

Can't help feelin'

That's the way it ought to be

You know we could run (run, run away)

But I couldn't bear to hear the things they'd say, oh no

Chorus

Baby, let's pretend that tonight could live forever

If we close our eyes and believe it might come true

Baby, let's pretend we could always [1,4: be 2,3: live] together

But for now just let me spend the night with you

[1: CaddD /D; to verse 2]

[2: to bridge]

[3, 4: CaddD /D; repeat]

Verse 2

Somehow, someday

Things are gonna be so different

Don't cry, some way

I promise it'll be all right

So now that we're all alone

I couldn't bear to leave to take you home, oh no

[repeat chorus]

Bridge

So take me now, my love can't wait

We're almost there now, darlin', darlin'

Hold me (hold me), hold me (hold me)

Ho-oh-old me

[repeat chorus to end; start to fade 2nd time]
