I Don't Need to Know That Right Now

(David Astri - Charles Deskin)
I've seen the glow of the candle in your eyes
At night, that seems so right, somehow
You might be leaving tomorrow
But I don't need to know that right now.
I feel the warmth heart inside me
And feel the soft touch of your hand on my brow
And maybe we tell each other lies
But I don't need to know that right now.
We could fall in love if we wanted to
While we're right here, lost in desire
An' maybe you belong to another
But I don't need to know that right now.
I feel the warmth of the fire when you hold me
Tonight just seemed so right, somehow
And maybe I'll never see you again
But I don't need to know that right now.
I don't need to know that right now...
I've seen the glow of the candle in your eyes
At night, that seems so right, somehow
You might be leaving tomorrow
But I don't need to know that right now.
I feel the warmth heart inside me
And feel the soft touch of your hand on my brow
And maybe we tell each other lies
But I don't need to know that right now.
We could fall in love if we wanted to
While we're right here, lost in desire
An' maybe you belong to another
But I don't need to know that right now.
I feel the warmth of the fire when you hold me
Tonight just seemed so right, somehow
And maybe I'll never see you again
But I don't need to know that right now.
I don't need to know that right now...
