TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT

Tonight is the night just like the other nights
I have spent without you
It is one of the nights
I have spent thinking of you
For the thought of you has never left my heart
Though along the life's path we decided to depart
You took the way to happiness and
I was left in gloom,
All alone, with a wet heart crying in my room

Never have I asked you to stay back
And hold me tight
Though the thought of separation
Had filled me with fright
But I knew it was bound to happen,
You were meant to go
And I was meant to be hurt
Tonight is the night when I re-live the hurt,
Tonight is the night like every other night
When I see you in the dream I see with open eyes
Tonight is the night like every other night
When I wish you were here by my side.
For I have not yet learnt to live without you
And my aching heart still longs for you
And the moments I spent with you still capture my heart
Though it is long ago that you chose to drift apart.

Tonight is the night I wish my dream would come true
Tonight is the night I wish a star would fall and turn into you.
