I know you loved him a long time ago
And even now in my mind you still want him I know
But darling this time let your memories die
When you hold me tonight don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
You'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

Baby I've been a fool holdin' on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms knowin' he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day that you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight don't close your eyes
