[Intro]

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

The darkness closes in around my heart
I can’t keep going if we’re this far apart

[Chorus]

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

[Solo Grand Piano]

[Verse 2]

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

[Bridge]

If tomorrow comes and calls me home
I’ll meet you there but not alone

[Final Chorus]

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

[Outro]

I need you…I need you…
Tonight…
