the way you are tonight

all the faces in the crowd

all the singing long and loud

celebrations on the midnight clear

set the world alight

all the fire in the sky

i can see it in your eyes

and i could love you for a thousand years

the way you are tonight

the way you hold me

the way you sing along

find a way to make me feel so good

whenever else is wrong

there are times i get to see

all the things you mean to me

i could love you for a thousand years

the way you are tonight

see all the tired faces

going on their way

and in the east there's just the palest line

that shows the coming of the day

as it breaks across the sky

i can see it in your eyes

i could love you for a thousand years

the way you are tonight

as it breaks across the sky

in the closing of your eyes

i could love you for a thousand years

the way you are tonight
