Lyrics
IF I HAD YOU TONIGHT
I've been in love with you
Since junior high began
We shared our favorite tune
You let me hold your hand
Though we were just kids
Not knowing what's in store
I kept my feelings hid
And never asked for more
If I had you tonight
Lit only by candlelight
I would tell you everything
That my love could bring
Now walking down the aisle
Childhood left behind
I can see your smile
And want to turn back time
Everyone can see
Love is in the air
I wait silently
Trying not to care
REPEAT CHORUS
If I could I'd try again
Show you what might have been
REPEAT CHORUS
If I had you tonight
If I had you tonight
