How many nights must be like this
Without the warmth of a smile or lovers kiss
How many nights must there be only dinner for one
No romantic candle lit dinners while watching the setting sun
How many nights must tears be my only companion in sleep
Longing to be with you is what makes me weep
How many nights must I spend alone in my life
To earn the privilege of being with you, the dream will not suffice
How many nights must a man be without your gentle caress
A chance is all I ask, nothing more, nothing less
