Say my name

Promise me you'll wake up next to me
A lifetime, forever and a day
Stay with me, don't let our memories
Take from us the love we have today

This feeling that I feel
I don't want to hide

Candlelight is how I like to see you say my name
In the darkness, it's not the same, woah
So come and kiss me before the sun goes down
'Cause in the darkness it's not the same,
it's not the same
I don't wanna hide, I don't wanna hide,
I don't wanna hide
It's not the same
Don't wanna hide, I don't wanna hide,
I don't wanna hide
Candlelight is how I like to see you say my name
In the darkness, it's not the same, woah
So come and kiss me before the sun goes down
'Cause in the darkness it's not the same,
it's not the same
