"Is it rollin', Bob?"

[n.c.]           E
To be alone with you
             A
Just you and me
                      E
Now won't you tell me true
                             B
Ain't that the way it oughta be?
                   E
To hold each other tight
                A
the whole night through
                     E
Ev'rything is always right
B                    E    [turnaround]
 When I'm alone with you.

To be alone with you
At the close of the day
With only you in view
While evening slips away
It only goes to show
That while life's pleasures be few
The only one I know
Is when I'm alone with you.
              A
They say that nighttime is the right time
   E
To be with the one you love
    F#
Too many thoughts get in the way in the day
           B      [n.c.]
But you're always what I'm thinkin' of
I wish the night was here
Bringin' me all of your charms
When only you are near
To hold me in your arms.
I'll always thank the Lord
When my working day's through
I get my sweet reward
To be alone with you.

Shadow Kingdom version

Musically there are no substantial changes, but lyrically, it’s a completely new creation.

To be alone with you
Just you and I
Under the moon
'Neath the star-spangled sky
I know you're alive
And I am too
My one desire
Is to be alone with you

To be alone with you
even for just one hour
In a castle high,
In an ivory tower
Some people don't get it
They just don't have a clue.
They wouldn't know what it's like
To be alone with you
They say that nighttime is the right time
To hold each other tight
All our worldly cares would disappear
And everything will come out right
I wish the night was here
Make me scream and shout,
I'd fall into your arms
I'd let it all hang out
I'll hound you to death
That's just what I'll do.
I won't sleep a wink
till I'm alone with you.
I'm collecting my thoughts in a pattern,
moving from place to place,
Stepping out into the dark night,
Stepping out into space.
Oh, what happened to me, darling?
Oh, what was it you saw?
Did I kill somebody?
Did I escape the law?
Got my heart and my mouth
My eyes are still blue.
My mortal bliss
Is to be alone with you.
