This Is The Night
Clay Aiken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could take all the time I had
But I'm not gonna wait
When a moment can vanish so fast
Cause every kiss is a kiss you can never get back
Lift me up in your arms
If you told me that's where heaven is
(Well, you'd be right)
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
When the answer to all my dreams
Is as close as a touch away
Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say
Lift me up in your arms
If you told me that is where heaven is
(Well, you'd be right)
Hold me close to your heart
I will go with you to the end of the Earth
(And we'll fly)
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
This is the night where we capture forever
And all out tomorrows begin
After tonight we will never be lonely again
Lift me up in your arms
If you told me that is where heaven is
(Well, you'd be right)
Hold me close to your heart
I would go with you to the end of the Earth
(And we'll fly)
I've been waiting forever for this
This is the night
The above lyrics are from Clay Aiken's hit song "This Is The Night".

He realizes that every kiss is special and cannot be taken back once it passes. This is why he urges his lover to lift him up and hold him close to his heart, as heaven is in the arms of his lover.
As the song progresses, the singer realizes that the answer to all his dreams is just a touch away and wonders why he has been holding back all along. He implores his lover to hold him close as they embark on a journey together. He knows that the night they spend together will be one that will last forever, even after they are gone. He reiterates his desire to be held close and to be lifted up into his lover's arms.

When the world was in upside down
Back when things were chaotic and unstable
I could take all the time I had
I used to have all the time in the world to wait for the right moment
But I'm not gonna wait
But now I'm not going to wait any longer because life is too short
When a moment can vanish so fast
When opportunities can slip away in an instant
Cause every kiss is a kiss you can never get back
Because every moment of love is precious and can never be repeated
Lift me up in your arms
Hold me tightly and show me your love
If you told me that's where heaven is (well, you'd be right)
If you said that being in your arms is like being in heaven, I would agree
I've been waiting forever for this
I have waited a long time for this moment
This is the night
This is the moment I've been waiting for
When the answer to all my dreams
When everything I've ever wanted
Is as close as a touch away
Is within reach, just a touch away
Why am I here holding back what I'm trying to say
Why am I hesitating to express my love and desires
Hold me close to your heart
Embrace me and keep me close to you
I will go with you to the end of the Earth (and we'll fly)
I will go anywhere with you, including places beyond imagination
This is the night where we capture forever
This moment is so special that we will remember it forever
And all our tomorrows begin
A new chapter of our lives starts from here
After tonight we will never be lonely again
After this moment, we will always have each other and never feel lonely
