[Verse 1]
Shadows on the bedroom wall
Your dress slipping down
That’s all
Bare feet on the hardwood floor
You lock the latch
You want some more
[Chorus]
Love me
Love me tenderly
Tonight is the night
Come closer to me
Let the world fall quiet outside
Two souls in the dark
Slow-rolling tide
Love me
Love me tenderly
Till the dawn forgets who we used to be
[Verse 2]
Ashtray on the window sill
Half-warm wine and a restless thrill
Your laugh cut low
You take my hand
Say
“This time we both understand”
[Chorus]
Love me
Love me tenderly
Tonight is the night
Come closer to me
Let the world fall quiet outside
Two souls in the dark
Slow-rolling tide
Love me
Love me tenderly
Till the dawn forgets who we used to be
[Bridge]
Time’s been hard
Left scars and lines
But your touch still rewrites mine
In this room
The years don’t show
Just your breath on my neck
Whispering slow (oh)
[Chorus]
Love me
Love me tenderly
Tonight is the night
Come closer to me
Let the world fall quiet outside
Two souls in the dark
Slow-rolling tide
Love me
Love me tenderly
Till the sun comes up and sets us free
