[Intro – spoken + audience] Hey… It’s kinda late tonight… You ever sit next to someone… And still feel so far away…? (Crowd: yeah…) This one’s for you… (Doo-wop… shoo-be-doo…) (Doo-wop… shoo-be-doo…) [Verse 1] Your wet lashes in the light Hold my heart so deep tonight And I don’t know why I feel this pain You’re right here next to me Still so far I cannot reach Maybe words would only be in vain In this cold and quiet room We just sit inside the gloom Searching hearts we cannot show Reaching out but letting go [Pre-Chorus] (Doo-wop…) If I reach, I’d touch your hand (Doo-wop…) But I don’t think I can [Chorus – call & response] Baby, don’t you cry tonight (Crowd: cry tonight…) Even if love fades out of sight (Crowd: out of sight…) If you can find a way to smile That’s enough for me tonight Darling, can you understand (Crowd: understand…) All these feelings in my hands (Crowd: in my hands…) Even if my heart breaks in two I just want the best for you [Verse 2 – softer, closer mic] All the warmth I feel so near Turns to something cold and clear Like my heart is slowly turning stone You look down and turn away Like you’ve got no words to say And the night just pulls you far from home [Break – spoken] Yeah… I see you… Sometimes love don’t leave loud… It just… fades… (Crowd: ohh…) [Bridge – call & response stronger] (Doo-wop doo-wop…) If this is the end (I still love you) (Crowd: love you…) Before we break down (I wanna hold you) (Crowd: hold you…) Words I can’t say (deep in my heart now) (Crowd: heart now…) Stay here with me till the morning light [Final Chorus – big live energy] Baby, don’t you cry tonight (Crowd: cry tonight…) Even if love disappears from sight (Crowd: from sight…) If you can laugh and carry on That’s the reason I stay strong Darling, I still love you so (Crowd: love you so…) That’s the only truth I know (Crowd: I know…) All I want is your happiness Even if I must let go [Outro – audience + fade] (Doo-wop… shoo-be-doo…) Even if you’re gone someday… (Crowd: someday…) I will love you anyway… (Crowd cheering…) Thank you… goodnight…
