Inches From You

Where is he on this lovely evening
While you and me, darlin', black dress sweeping
About your legs
Pour the red wine
Come and fill my cup
Oh, we'll drink it up, again, again

He doesn't know, night taking hold and you pull me in close
You take me to places we shouldn't be going
Watching you move, now suddenly, oh, we're alone in your room
And I'm dying here only inches from you

He's out of town, but that's no reason
To call me up and start your teasing
About those days
When we were
But you touch my lips
Now I'm sinking in, again, again

He doesn't know, night taking hold and you pull me in close
You take me to places we shouldn't be going
Watching you move, now suddenly, oh, we're alone in your room
And I'm dying here only inches from you

All those pictures of you smiling
Is he holding that gaze in your eye?
Could I break this? Could I take this?
Could I make this love mine?

Where is he, baby?
You and me, baby,
On this lovely, this lovely, this lovely evening
On this lovely, oh no...

He doesn't know, night taking hold and you pull me in close
You take me to places we shouldn't be going
Watching you move, now suddenly, oh, we're alone in your room
And I'm dying here only inches from you
