I want to stay up all night
And listen to you…
And look into your smiling eyes
And feel that I am not alone…

I want to stay up all night
And rest my head on yours
And just sit there…
And listen to the Pumpkins
Until the Sun comes up…

I want to stay up all night
And put my arm around your shoulder
And know that you are there…

I want to stay up all night
And watch the colours of the clouds
As the night becomes the morning once again
Like it has so many times before…

I want to stay up all night
And turn on all the lights
So the vampires can’t come for us…

I want to stay up all night
And talk to you until I have no voice
And write until my pens runs out
And listen to you until my ears ring
And smile at you until my cheeks ache
And look at you until my eyes blur…

I want to stay up all night…
So I never forget what friendship means
