Can I See You Tonight
© 1999 Cat Catalani
It's Saturday night, I curl up on my bed
With movies for the VCR
All of the ghosts of my former loves
Hover around me in the dark

CHORUS:
It's getting so much harder to begin
Though with you, it could be right
There are times when to surrender is to win
Can I see you tonight?
Can I see you tonight?

I've been digging my trenches, putting up my defenses
Screening my calls on the phone
And for every hour I spend with others
I spend a day alone

CHORUS:
It's getting so much harder to begin
Though with you, it could be right
There are times when to surrender is to win
Can I see you tonight?
Can I see you tonight?

A dry leaf skids across the pavement in the dark
November nightfall blowing in
I'm sitting here with all the lights turned off
Wondering how to begin

CHORUS:
It's getting so much harder to begin
Though with you, it could be right
There are times when to surrender is to win
Can I see you tonight?
Can I see you tonight?
