on the first night I ever saw you   from the first time I ever felt your skin   I figured things a little strange   as I began to rearrange myself   when the first sunlight started to appear   I would turn to see if you were here      I harbored not a single doubt   just had to find what you're about inside   I couldn't seem to say good night   until I heard you say alright to me      excuse me, my dear - I just had to say   it's hell without you here   and all my dreams are full of fear   but there's honesty anyway      the first time I knew I made a choice   is when I heard the low-down   sullen sound of your voice      I harbored not a single doubt   just had to find what you're about inside   I couldn't seem to say good night   until I heard you say alright to me      excuse me, my dear - I just had to say   it's hell without you here   and all my dreams are full of fear   but there's honesty anyway      just had to let you know   feels like hell when you're not home   and I sleep alone   but there's honesty anyway
