If you were here tonight
Alexander O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love takes on a new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to say
The circumstance leaves me only waiting
For the chance
I only want to love you more, more
Can't you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight
By my side
If you were with me now
When the lights go out
I can not pretend
This bed's too big for me
To be in alone, all alone
Slow burn light a candle for our love, love
So we'll always be one to one in love, oh love
Can't you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It's not the way I planned it, no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight, all night
By my side
If you were with me now
Every night alone I just wait here anticipating
For the day I won't feel this pain baby
Please don't keep me waiting
Come to me
If you were here tonight
Oh oh girl
Be by my side
If you were with me now
Girl this bed's too big
For me, for me to be in all alone
All alone
Don't keep me waiting baby
If you were with me now
Oh hold me girl all night, want you for myself
Girl, do me right
Got nobody else
All by myself
Got nobody else
Girl, this love is strong
Please take me home
Be with you tonight
Make our love our light
Do just what you feel
Please don't be a tease
Girl I love you more
You're the one that I adore, oh girl don't leave me lonely, cold by myself, all alone tonight

The chorus repeats the sentiment that if the person were there, the loneliness and longing would disappear. The lyrics are emotional and raw, perfectly capturing the feeling of yearning for someone's touch.

Hold me all night long, girl. I want to be with you by myself
Girl, do me right
Girl, treat me fairly and righteously
Got nobody else
I don't have any other person
All by myself
I am all alone
Girl, this love is strong
Girl, our love is powerful and intense
Please take me home
Take me with you to your place
Be with you tonight
Spending this night with you
Make our love our light
Let's create a beacon out of our love
Do just what you feel
Act as you feel inclined to do
Please don't be a tease
Please don't lead me on with false promises
Girl I love you more
Girl, my love for you has only grown deeper
You're the one that I adore, oh girl don't leave me lonely, cold by myself, all alone tonight
You're the only one I adore, girl. Don't leave me isolated, miserable, and alone tonight

This song defines a big part of my life, serving in Germany. Sang it to my girl over the phone.
I'd go back to those days in a minute.
