Alone In The World - Patti Austin

Tonight

Why not pretend

We’re alone in the world

And that we’re safe

From the storm out there

You’ll be the only love

That I’ve known in the world

No clocks to measure

The time we share

Out there the winds

Are bitter cold

And there is too much pain

And far too little love

To few others who care

The here and now

Is all that we own in the world

And love’s the refuge

That sees us through

Sleep inside my arms

Kiss the world away

Let tomorrow come

Let me face the day with you

The here and now

Is all that we own, in the world

And love’s the refuge

That sees us through

Sleep inside my arms

Kiss the world away

Let tomorrow come

Let me face the day, with you
