Lyrics

I Want Last Night

I want smothering kisses that take my breath away
And hugs that say thank you, I need you to stay
I want a look that says what words can never say
I want last night for the rest of my life.

Chorus:
The magic of this moment
Dear God, how I need to own it
I want last night for the rest of my life
I want last night for the rest of my life.

Wake up in the morning like we never went to sleep
Where the excitement in your eyes is a gift I get to keep
I want tomorrow to hold me where love falls soft and deep
I want last night for the rest of my life.

repeat chorus

Bridge:
If this turns out wrong there's no way to make it right
I just want last night for the rest of my life.
