Midnight
Even when I'm not sleeping, I dream of you anyways
[C}
6 It's midnight, once again
8 I thought I could do without you
10 On this terrace, we can't hear each other
6 But I feel you near me
9 Within an inch of holding your hand1
8 Of taking you away from here
8 I cannot stop fantasizing2
10 I can perceive you a little better3
[C&O}
4.12 No need to talk, we can simply observe each other from afar
6 Our very first secrets
8 As if hidden under the lights
14 (7.7) You had it all figured out: tonight my smile was for you
[C}
10 Still some time for us tonight to enjoy6
10 I wouldn't want it all to turn blurry7
10 Too many cigarettes in the ashtrays
10 We couldn't stop staring at each other8
10 You're not talking, but you're all that I hear9
6 (Oh, you're such a loser)
6 Such a dangerous voice
12 The glasses get empty as the legs get moving
6 But I'm still a bit shy10
[C&O}
2 Just once
8 Please let me hold your hand11
2 Why not5
8 Letting our bodies do their thing?12
[C&O}
4.12 No need to talk, we can simply observe each other from afar
6 Our very first secrets
8 As if hidden under the lights
14 (7.7) You had it all figured out: tonight my smile was for you
4.12 No need to talk, we can simply observe each other from afar
6 Our very first secrets
8 As if hidden under the lights
14 (7.7) You had it all figured out: tonight my smile was for you
4.12 No need to talk, we can simply observe each other from afar
6 Our very first secrets
8 As if hidden under the lights

work in progress.
I did my best with the rhymes and structure (but the original's wasn't that consistent). About as good as it'll get (:
