make the night a little longer

my days are years 'cause i don't see my baby

till the stars are in the sky

and every night when we can be together

time just seems to hurry by

so lord i'm beggin' you to make the night

just a little longer

make the night

just a little longer

so i can kiss him

just a little longer

and hold him tight

just a little longer

you made the world the way you thought it should be

so won't you make the night a little longer for me?

my nights are warm

'cause when he hugs and holds me

everything just feels so fine

but lord

you know

i hate to see the sunlight

takes away that man of mine

so lord i'm beggin' you to make the night

just a little longer

make the night

just a little longer

so i can kiss him

just a little longer

and hold him tight

just a little longer

just a little longer

just a little longer)

so lord i'm beggin' you to make the night

just a little longer

make the night

just a little longer

so i can kiss him

just a little longer

and hold him tight

just a little longer

then embrace his arms

just a little longer

capture all of his charms

just a little longer

please lord

make the night.
