Tonight I wish that I could be with you
And hold you in my arms again
and tell you “I love you.”
To look into your smiling face
And be held in your warm embrace
Tonight I wish that I could be with you

Tonight I wish that we could kiss again
And feel you breathing next to me
and my lips upon your skin.
To run my fingers through your hair
Just to know that you are there
Tonight I wish that I could be with you

“Love is a many splendored thing.”
is on again tonight
Maybe he’ll come back this time
and there’ll be a happy ending.
Or we could write our own movie script
We could do it better than Scarlet and Rhett.
Tonight I wish that I could be with you

Sometimes you and I would go out driving.
Sometimes with no maps or a special place to go
You will always be my destination.
You are all I really need to know.

And I wish I could hear your voice tonight
To hear you softly whisper
that everything’s all right.
I wish that we could talk again
Laugh and cry like two old friends.
Tonight I wish that I could be with you

Remember that old couple at the grocery store
Smiling at each other
as they walked through the door.
You said as they rolled down Aisle two...
“Wait a few years buddy, there goes me and you.”

And tonight I wish that
And hold you in my arms again
and tell you “I love you.”
I wish that we could kiss again
And feel my lips upon your skin.
Tonight I wish that I could be with you
Tonight I wish that I could be with you
Tonight I wish that I could be with you
