I'll Be Home Tonight

I can't leave the house, I can't take a drive

Without some kind of encounter of you.

In my days with you I felt so alive -

How could I predict what they would come to?

 

When you're in love you see them every place;

Even in their absence you can't escape.

Yours was a love I fear I can't replace...

Images of you...I can't stop the tape.

 

The logical answer is to move on,

But there's nothing logical about this.

You were just with me. How could you be gone?

What I wouldn't give just for one more kiss.

 

The evening is frenzied, the stars are bright,

But do rest assured I'll be home tonight.
