LYRICS

Sweetheart, we're alone

And you are mine

Let's make this night a night to remember

Don't make our love a cold dying ember

For with the dawn, you'll be gone

Hold me close in your arms as the night withers away

Let's not waste one precious kiss while we're together

Oh, please come to my arms and say you'll love me forever

For with the dawn, you'll be gone

Sweetheart, when you're near

My heart is aflame

Your lips pressed on mine is heaven descending

And I could die because it is ending

For with the dawn, you'll be gone

Let these passion we feel in our hearts never end

I could never share this feeling with another

Oh, please say that you feel the same

There'll be no other

For with the dawn, you'll be gone

For with the dawn, you'll be gone

For with the dawn, you'll be gone

For with the dawn, you'll be gone
