I know you loved him, a long time ago

And even now in my arms, you still want him I know

But darling this time, that 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

Darling just once, let yesterday go

And you'll find more love than you've ever known

Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes.

Maybe I've been a fool, holding on all this time

Lying here in your arms, knowing he's in your mind

But I keep hoping someday, that you'll see the light

Let it be me tonight, and don't close your eyes.

Don't close your eyes, let it be me

Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy

Darling just once, let yesterday go

And you'll find more love than you've ever known

Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes.

Don't close your eyes, let it be me

Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy

Darling just once, let yesterday go

And you'll find more love than you've ever known

Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes.

Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes.
