Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon

Why am I holding on?

We knew this day would come, we knew it all along

How did it come so fast?

[Pre-Chorus]

This is our last night, but it's late

And I'm trying not to sleep

'Cause I know when I wake

I will have to slip away

[Chorus]

And when the daylight comes, I'll have to go

But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight, I need to hold you so close

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Here I am staring at your perfection

In my arms, so beautiful

The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out

Somebody slow it down

[Pre-Chorus]

This is way too hard

'Cause I know when the sun comes up

I will leave, this is my last glance

That will soon be memory

[Chorus]

And when the daylight comes, I'll have to go

But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight, I need to hold you so close

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]

I never want it to stop

Because I don't wanna start all over, start all over

I was afraid of the dark

But now it's all that I want, all that I want, all that I want

[Chorus]

And when the daylight comes, I'll have to go

But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight, I need to hold you so close

And when the daylight comes, I'll have to go

But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close

'Cause in the daylight, we'll be on our own

But tonight, I need to hold you so close

[Post-Chorus]

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

Ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, ooh-whoa-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Outro]

Ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah), ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah)

Ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah), oh, oh-oh-oh (Yeah)

Ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah-ah), ooh-whoa-oh (Yeah-ah)

Ooh-whoa-oh, oh
