Wanting You Tonight
Music and lyrics by Beth Portman, copyright 2015
Oh my dear the signs are clear baby you gotta stay right here
Cause I'm wanting you tonight
Don't leave my side I'm wishing right on a star that shines so bright
That you'll stay right here cause I'm wanting you tonight
I've been keeping busy so you wouldn't fill my mind
You've been keeping busy cause your work just takes you time
Romance novels, movies, TV shows just aren't the same
Toss those papers to the wind forget about those crazy games
Oh oh my dear the signs are clear baby you gotta stay right here
Cause I'm wanting you tonight
Don't leave my side I'm wishing right on a star that shines so bright
That you'll stay right here cause I'm wanting you tonight
The sofa's warm so cozy up nice and near
Turn away those thoughts that crowd don't make me disappear
Keep it simple, a smile and then a touch
So please put that briefcase down and pick me up
Why not take a trip and see the world before we're gone
Hop a plane or take a cruise to Trinidad or Mazatlan
Lovers love to love and live the life that they embrace
Oh couldn't that be lived by us. I'm asking you to join this place
Oh oh my dear the signs are clear baby you gotta stay right here
Cause I'm wanting you tonight
Don't leave my side I'm wishing right on a star that shines so bright
That you'll stay right here cause I'm wanting you tonight
That you'll stay right here cause I'm wanting you tonight
