To Be Alone with You Lyrics

[Intro]
Is it rolling, Bob?

[Verse 1]
To be alone with you
Just you and me
Now won't you tell me true
Ain't that the way it oughta be?
To hold each other tight
The whole night through
Everything is always right
When I'm alone with you

[Verse 2]
To be alone with you
At the close of the day
With only you in view
While evening slips away
It only goes to show
That while life's pleasures be few
The only one I know
Is when I'm alone with you

[Bridge]
They say that nighttime is the right time
To be with the one you love

Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
But you're always what I'm thinkin' of
[Verse 3]
I wish the night was here
Bringin' me all of your charms
When only you are near
To hold me in your arms
I'll always thank the Lord
When my workin' day is through
I get my sweet reward
To be alone with you

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
