A Night with Billy Joel

In every heart, there is a sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past.
So I will share this room with you,
And you can have this heart to break.

Though it seems like the day is wasted
And the nights have been overdue
It’s been so long since we got together
In between it seems to take forever

There was something that was missing but I never used to wonder why.
Now I know you’re the one I need to make things right again
And I may lose the battle, but you’re giving me the will to try.

How many nights have I been lonely without you?
How many nights have I been thinking about you?
Wanting to hold you, but knowing you would not be there.
This night, you’re mine; it’s only you and I.
I’ll tell you to forget yesterday.

All your past sins are since past. You should be sleeping.
It’s all right, sleep tight, through the long night with me.
You’re broken hearted from a long, long time ago.
The way you hold me is all that I need to know.
