I don’t want to be stranded in the darkness.
I don’t want to be left out in the cold.
I need somebody to be there in the morning,
And when I’m lonely, I need someone to hold.
Although I’ve known other girls before,
I don’t think of them anymore.
The only one I think about is you,
And when my buddies call me on the phone,
I tell them I don’t want to come along
To the bar and maybe have a beer or two.
I just want to be with you.
I never was too fond of meeting strangers,
And a blind date wasn’t my idea of fun.
Then a good friend introduced me to his sister
And I knew right away she was the one.
I liked the way that she looked at me,
And it didn’t take too long to see
She might be feeling a strong attraction too.
We sat there talking all through the night,
And you know, it never felt so right.
So I took your hand and I told you
That I just want to be with you.
The days went by and we became much closer.
I couldn’t stand the time we spent apart.
I knew my single days would soon be over,
For I was ready to give you my heart.
I can still recall the time
When I took your hand in mine
And swore my love forever would be true,
And I still recall the way
You asked if I would like to stay.
I said there’s nothing I would rather do.
I just want to be with you.
