I need you here beside me
To chase the night away
I need your love to guide me
Safe through another day
I lie and watch the lights go down
Say goodnight to another town
And though it hurts
To be alone
I have my thoughts of you
To keep me warm

In the afterglow of your love
Dreams all I'm guilty of
Every day I'm playing tough
But read my mind

If you could see me now
Living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
The me that only you would know
Still burning in the afterglow

When the beat of the drum has faded
The show comes to an and
The stage is clear and loaded
And the highway calls again
I stand and watch the lights go down

In the afterglow of your love
Dreams all I'm guilty of
Every day I'm playing tough
But read my mind

If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
I'm still burning in the afterglow

Hmm
Stay with me right to the end
Hmm
'Til I can hold you again
Hmm-hmm-hmm

If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
Still burning in the afterglow
(If you could see me now)

(If you could see me now)
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
I'm still burning in the afterglow
(If you could see me now)
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
I'm still burning in the afterglow
(If you could see me now)
(If you could see me now)
Still burning, still burning, still burning
(If you could see me now)
Still burning, still burning, still burning, still burning
(If you could see me now)
Still burning, still burning, still burning
Still burning, still burning, still burning, still burning
Still burning, still burning, still burning, still burning
Still burning in the afterglow
