Lost in twilight
The memories
Precious moments, you and me
We've been old friends
All through the years
Picture postcards, sharing tears
What's in our hearts, there's never time to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
I've seen your city lights
As I walk away
Why can't this night go on forever?
Without love we, we won't survive
Run together, we rule the nights
Tell me secrets, ohh, that make you cry
Where's the laughter? We gotta try
What's in our hearts, there's never time to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
Like a photograph
That time won't erase
Why can't this night
Go on forever?
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Forever and ever, ever
The memories
Precious moments, you and me
We've been old friends
All through the years
Picture postcards, sharing tears
What's in our hearts, there's never time to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
I've seen your city lights
As I walk away
Why can't this night go on forever?
Without love we, we won't survive
Run together, we rule the nights
Tell me secrets, ohh, that make you cry
Where's the laughter? We gotta try
What's in our hearts, there's never time to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
Like a photograph
That time won't erase
Why can't this night
Go on forever?
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Forever and ever, ever

A real nice slow song that they wrote for their fans.
This is definitely one of the Journey's most underrated songs, I don't know why, this song is great, specially the end is fantastic with the best Steve Perry.

A perfect Chapter 2 to "Faithfully".
The lyrics are probably as written correct, but sung incorrect from the lyrics. Example: The lyrics state: We've been old friends, all through the years Steve actually says: We've been all through.. All through the years and The lyrics state:Without love, we won't survive Steve actually says: Without love we, we won't survive
