I've been so many places in my life and time And I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my life in stages, ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is where I hope to be I treated you unkindly, darling, can't you see There's no one more important to me, darling, Darling, can't you just see through me? We're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
Tell you what, darling Turn down the light Turn down the bed Go on, turn down these voices They're inside my head Lay down with me Go on, tell me no lies, no lies Just hold me close And don't patronize me Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me, darling If you don't You can't make your heart feel Something it won't Oh, here in the dark In these final hours I will lay down my heart If you feel the power, but you won't Oh, you don't
'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't If you don't find love, darling Oh, on your own 'Cause you know that I found love, darling On my own, on my own, on my own I found love, darling, darling Right, right, right in the nick of time
I found love, darling I found love, darling I found love, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling Love in the knick of time
