Lyrics

The sound of your footsteps
Tell me that you’re near
Your soft gentle motion, babe
Brings out a need in me that nobody hears, except
In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
There’s a little gold ring you wear on your hand
Makes me understand
There’s another before me, you’ll never be mine
I’m wastin’ my time
Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
I’m passing so close beside you, baby
‘Cause sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, but
In my midnight confessions
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
I love you
There’s a little gold ring you wear on your hand
Makes me understand
There’s another before me, you’ll never be mine
I’m wastin’ my time
In my midnight confession
When I tell all the world that I love you
In my midnight confessions
When I say all the things that I want to
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
