Let Me Love You Tonight is a 1980 song by the American country rock band Pure Prairie League. The lead vocalist for the band at the time was Vince Gill, who would later become a successful country music singer in his own right. Noted saxophonist David Sanborn is also on the track.
Taken as the first single from their 1980 album, Firin' Up, "Let Me Love You Tonight" became the band's first (and, to date, only) song to enter the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at number 10 during the summer of 1980, and remained in the top 40 for 11 weeks. The song also spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Dark clouds are blowin' in the wind
He's crossin' your mind again
You've got that sad, sad feelin' from a broken heart
And feelin' so close to the end

[Chorus]
Let me love you tonight
There's a million stars in the sky
Let me love you tonight
I'll make everything alright

[Verse 2]
When you find out how good love can be
You're so lost when it sets you free
They say once in your life, you find someone that's right
Someone who loves you like me

[Chorus]
Let me love you tonight
There's a million stars in the sky
Let me love you tonight
I'll make everything alright

[Bridge]
When the moon has forgotten what the night's about
And the stars can't work their places out
Hold me tighter than tight
When the daylight comes, it'll be alright

[Chorus]
Let me love you tonight
There's a million stars in the sky
Let me love you tonight
I'll make everything alright

[Outro]
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
