Oh, if he asks me, I will wait for him forever
And though he's leaving, we'll have one more night together
Until tomorrow I hide all my fears
Then hurry home and cry all my tears
I only wish tonight could last forever
I write a letter to him
Every day just to let him know
I'm thinking about him, though he's far away
Till he comes back home
It breaks my heart to see him go
Lord knows I love that boy so
I only wish tonight could last forever
Oh, I remember our first date
At the high school dance
And when he walked me home at night
My heart never stood a chance
I'm saving all my love for him
Amen
I count each minute, each lonely night
Without him
Till he returns, each night I pray
We'll have a love that he would stay
I only wish tonight could last forever
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Oooh
I only wish tonight could last forever
Woah
I only wish tonight could last forever
you
