If I Were Only Her Tonight

You hold me close But not too close As the band plays soft and low There's a faraway look in your eyes As we dance across the floor The love you knew, has a hold on you Even after all this time And it may be wrong, but just one thing Keeps going through my mind If I were only her tonight The fantasies could come to light At least until the morning light When you take me in your arms Oh, just once, if I could be The one you want, instead of me Everything would be so right If I were only her tonight And so we dance, another dance As the music softly plays We smile and say the kind of things Old friends often say But, all the time you're holding me You hold her in your mind Would I give everything I got To be her just one time If I were only her tonight The fantasies could come to light At least until the morning light When you take me in your arms Oh, just once, if I could be The one you want, instead of me Everything would be so right If I were only her tonight If I were only her tonight
