I'd Really Love To See You Tonight
Wynners Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello, yeah it's been awhile
Not much, how 'bout you
I'm not sure why I'd called
I guess I really just wanted
To talk to you

I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for a while

It's been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

We could go walkin' through a windy park
Take a drive along the beach
Or stay at home and watch TV
I see it really doesn't matter much to me

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

I won't ask for promises
So you don't have to lie
We both played the game before
Say I love you then say goodbye

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life

But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight
