Late last night I was dreaming 
I was dreaming of your charms 
I was standing 
On the edge of love, darling 
With you in my arms 
Well you whispered sweet things 
And told me 
That you loved me and always be true 
And you'd stand 
On the edge of love with me 
If I'd stand with you 
I'm standing on the edge of love 
Just about to slip and fall 
Standing on the edge of love, darling 
Waiting on your call 
You know I'm standing on the edge of love 
Just about to lose my mind 
Standing on the edge of love, darling 
Waiting on you one more time 
Now a young man's mind will wander 
Wander to distant shores 
If you'll just come here 
And stand with me 
I won't wander no more 
I promise to stop all of my gambling 
Even stop staying out late all night 
Might even settle down and have babies 
Treat ourselves right 
'Cause a young man's dreams are many 
Lord, so few come true 
So if you'll just come here 
And stand with me 
I'll stand with you 
That's why I say you know 
I'm standing on the edge of love 
Just about to slip and fall 
Standing on the edge of love, darling 
Waiting on your call, that's why I say 
You know, I'm standing on the edge of love 
Just about to lose my mind 
Standing on the edge of love, darling 
Waiting on you one more time 
That's why I'm standing, standing 
Standing, yes, I'm standing 
Standing on the edge of love 
Waiting on you one more time 
That's why I'm standing, standing 
Standing, yes, I'm standing 
Standing on the edge of love 
Waiting on you one more time 
That's why I'm standing, standing 
Standing, yes, I'm standing 
Standing on the edge of love 
One more time
