lyrics

On a Sunday evenin', while the world is grievin'
For the weekend slippin' from view
You and I are dreamin', starin' at the ceilin'
Lyin' on the bed in my room
Sirens are a-wailin', while the sky is palin'
Prophets are predictin' our doom
We lay close together, locked away in leisure
While our hearts are beatin' in tune

I place my hand upon your hip
I trace one word with my fingertip
You look down deep into my eyes
And all at once I realize
I realize that, darlin'

I don't want nuthin' but to live for this moment
Lyin' on the bed in my room
I don't want nuthin' but to live for this moment
Whisperin' sweet nuthin's to you

Nightingales call when shadows start a-fallin'
Singing out a sorrowful tune
Still we lay together, locked away in leisure
Backlit by the light of the moon

I lay a kiss upon your lips
I hold true love at my fingertips
You look down deep into my eyes
And all at once I realize
That darling, you're my size, and...

I don't want nuthin' but to live for this moment
Lyin' on the bed in my room
I don't want nuthin' but to live for this moment
Whisperin' sweet nuthin's to you

The shadows creep across the walls...again
The darkness slides along the hall...again
Four hours gone without a trace
The clock is laughing in my face,
But all I know...
is that I love her so, and...

I don't want nuthin' but to live for this moment
Lyin' on the bed in my room
I don't want nuthin' but to live for this moment
Whisperin' sweet nuthin's to you
And I don't want nuthin' but to live for this moment
Ain't nuthin' that I'd rather do
Believe me when I say that, darlin', 'til my dying day
I want to whisper those sweet nuthin's to you.

(Lyrics by Wes Tanenbaum)
