(spoken intro)
Now, I am strong enough. Now, I am strong enough to accept change. Yes, my darling, if you want to live in another place, I can understand it. It's gonna hurt for a little while but, I can understand it. But, before you walk out of that door…
Touch me in the morning
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
Wasn't it me who said
That nothin' good's gonna last forever
Wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand your feeling that way
Everybody's got their life to live
Well, I can say goodbye
In the cold morning light
But I can't watch love die
In the warmth of the night
If I got to be strong
Don't you know I need your help tonight
When you're gone, till you go
I need to just lie here and
Think about the very last time you'll ever…
Oh, touch me in the morning
Then just close the door
Leave me as you found me
All empty like before
Wasn't it yesterday
We used to laugh at the wind behind us
Didn't we run away and hope
That time wouldn't try to find us
Didn't we take each other
To a place where
No one's ever been
Yeah, I really need you
Near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
Let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll watch how it dies
If I got to be strong
Don't you know I need your love tonight
When you're gone
Till you go
I need to hold onto you until the time
Your hands reach out and…
Touch me in the morning
Didn't we take each other
To a place where
No one's ever been
Yeah, I really need you
Near me tonight
'Cause you'll never take me there again
I let me watch you go
With the sun in my eyes
We've seen how love can grow
Ho, now we'll watch how it dies
If I got to be strong
Don't you know I got to have
'Til you're gone I need to
Use all my imagination just to think about the time when you loved me so well
I don't mind it, if I got to be strong
Just as long as I can have tonight, turn off the T.V., turn off all the lights and…come on
If I got to be strong, I don't mind it
Give me tonight, darling
Forget about the neighbors, forget about all my friends
Ooh, babe, if I got to be strong
I can use it
Just tonight, baby
Just tonight, just tonight. I will not ask for tomorrow
Oh, no, no
If I got to be stronger and stronger and stronger
And my love will grow longer and longer and longer
I will have the memories of ya
