Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Here I am waitin'

I'll have to leave soon

Why am I holdin' on?

We knew this day would come

We knew it all along

How did it come so fast?

[PreChorus]

This is our last night, but it's late

And I'm tryin' not to sleep

'Cause I know, when I wake

I will have to slip away

[Chorus]

And when the daylight comes, I'll have to go

But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight I need to hold you so close

[Chorus]

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Here I am staring

At your perfection

In my arms, so beautiful

The sky is getting bright

The stars are burnin' out

Somebody slow it down

[PreChorus]

This is way too hard

'Cause I know, when the sun comes up

I will leave, this is my last glance

That will soon be memory

[Chorus]

And when the daylight comes, I'll have to go

But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight, I need to hold you so close

[Chorus]

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]

I never want it to stop

Because I don't wanna start all over, start all over

I was afraid of the dark

But now it's all that I want, all that I want, all that I want

[Chorus]

And when the daylight comes, I'll have to go

But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight I need to hold you so close

[Chorus]

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go

But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight I need to hold you so close

[Chorus]

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Outro]

Ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah)

Ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah)

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Yeah, yeah)

Ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah)

Ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah)

Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
