It was rainy hard on a hot summer day
He came from oh so long ago and so far away
He knocked oh so gently afraid someone might hear
And she opened up the door like she'd done through all the years
I've come to ask for your hand he said
But don't answer yet
They were friends at 15, at 16 he moved away
He told her he’d be back somehow someway
But time has a way of slipping by so fast
That even true love can feel like it will never last
And there he was at her door to say
Be my Love today
Sleep on it tonight
Sleep on it tonight
I left you many years ago but I've come to make it right
I can’t believe your here tonight
As time stood still all she could see
Was two young souls so wild and free
And so she held her breath and with her heart
She said yes
But I’ll Sleep on it tonight
Sleep on it tonight
I waited all these years for you to make me your wife
Sleep on it tonight
Sleep on it tonight
I left you many years ago and I’ve come to make it right
Sleep on it tonight
I can't believe you’re here tonight
I can't believe I’m here tonight.
I can't believe we’re here tonight
I can't believe we’re here tonight.
Tonight, tonight, tonight
I can’t believe we’re here tonight
Sleep on it tonight
