The city glows in a haze of amber and steel

I sit in the quiet with the phone I can’t conceal

Your scarf still rests on the hook by the stair

Every corner remembers the scent of your hair

The old clock is ticking but time feels too slow

The melody hums low with a song I don’t know

The darkness closes in around my heart

I can’t keep going if we’re this far apart

I need you tonight to chase away the dark

I need you tonight to light dying spark

I need you tonight when the silence feels loud

I need you tonight to lift heavy cloud

I need you tonight to make the wrong feel right

I need you tonight to hold me through the night

I need you tonight when the world feels cold gray

I need you tonight before the light slips away

I need you, tonight

The streets are empty where we used to walk

Your laughter echoes in the midnight talk

The photographs are smiling from the wall

But every picture makes the silence fall

The bed feels wider than it ever did

I reach across for the love we hid

If tomorrow comes and calls me home

I’ll meet you there but not alone

I need you tonight to chase away the dark

I need you tonight to light dying spark

I need you tonight when the silence feels loud

I need you tonight to lift heavy cloud

I need you tonight to make the wrong feel right

I need you tonight to hold me through the night

I need you tonight when the world feels cold gray

I need you tonight before the light slips away

I need you, tonight

I need you…I need you…

Tonight…
