Lyrics
Verse 1
Sittin' here in the shadows
My heart's an open book
Thinking bout what might have been
Ain't doing me no good
Verse 2
Maybe I should tell you
I've gone to hell and back
The blackened part of my mind
Makes life so dull an' flat
Chorus
All I really need tonight is an arm around my shoulders
To hold me close and tell me life is good
All I really want tonight is to feel you next to me
To show me you are mine while there's still time
Verse 3
Lookin' through the shadows
My soul is crying out
For something to hold on to
A warm rain after drought
Chorus
All I really need tonight is an arm around my shoulders
To hold me close and tell me life's still good
All I really want tonight is to feel you next to me
To show me you are mine while there's still time
Bridge
At times you were a comfort, around my dying soul
Bringing warmth into this cold, cold world
You often spoke to me about us growing old together
Now it's so very cold, so very cold
Chorus
All I really need tonight is an arm around my shoulders
To hold me close and tell me life's still good
All I really want tonight is to feel you next to me
To show me you are mine while there's still time
While there's still time
