When I See You Tonight



Can I see you tonight? Can we go for a ride?
Or watch TV - get a video out?
I've heard of one that I'd like you to see,
it's called the Field Of Dreams, oh and by the way:
just want to say that I love you,
just want to say that I love you.

Can I see you tonight? can we talk about life?
And how the world keeps spinning around
and just when I and the moon and the stars
and the light of your heart
I'd really do it all away
and I wanna tell you I love you
just want to tell you I love you

Oh why do people always say
the things they never mean?
I know that we could start again,
if you listen to me!

Can I see you tonight? It's gonna be alright.
You are the best thing that's happened to me
a million words could never reveal the way you
make me feel every moment of my life
If got to tell you I love you
just got to tell you I love you.

Oh why do people always say,
the things they never mean?
I know that we could start again,
if you listen to me!

Can I see you tonight? Can we go for a ride?
or watch TV - get a video out
I've heard of one that I'd like you to see,
it's called the Field Of Dreams, oh and by the way:
Just want to tell you I love you (can I see you tonight?)
Just want to tell you I love you (can I see you tonight?)
Just got to say that I love you.
"This one, again, won't be on the album or the cassette, but we're keeping it for later on, maybe as a B-side. It's about two people who have had a row, basically, and the guy is ringing her up and trying to think of every other reason to see her - but he actually wants to tell her that he loves her. It's a light song, very Beatle-ish, and he says 'When I see you tonight, we'll talk about life or go for a walk, watch TV, get a video out - I've got this one that I'd like you to see, it's called Field Of Dreams - and, oh, by the way, just want to tell you I love you.' It's a nice track, and maybe a bit like Stevie Wonder's 'I Just Called To Say I Love You', but it's unlikely, for various reasons, to be on the album."
