Let Me Love You For Tonight

(Album: Brand New Kind Of Love - 1973)

I could never find the words to say
Just how much you mean to me
And for me to say I love you
Would not be fair to you or me
Though I'm leaving with the morning sun
These precious days we won't forget
And when I kiss you for the last time
We will part with no regrets

Let me love you for tonight
And when I leave you in the morning
I will leave no strings behind to tie you down
And I will keep you in my mind
I'll think of you from time to time
And who knows I might pass this way again
And who knows maybe you might take me in

This could never last forever
And there's no reason to pretend
Though we had a good thing going
We both knew it had to end
Let us make no foolish promises
Just let me love you for a while
And when the sun comes up tomorrow
I will leave you with a smile

Let me love you for tonight
And when I leave you in the morning
I will leave no strings behind to tie you down
And I will keep you in my mind
I'll think of you from time to time
And who knows I might pass this way again
And who knows maybe you might take me in

There are many things that I could say
But they might only cause you pain
And all our days were built with sunshine
And the light might bring the rain
Let me love you like I know I can
And if you give yourself to me
In the shadows of this evening
We will build sweet memories

Let me love you for tonight
And when I leave you in the morning
I will leave no strings behind to tie you down
And I will keep you in my mind
I'll think of you from time to time
And who knows I might pass this way again
And who knows maybe you might take me in
