Tonight Lyrics
Tonight, tonight, won't be just any nightTonight there will be no morning star
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight
And for us, stars will stop where they are
Today, the minutes seem like hours
The hours go so slowly
And still the sky is light
Oh moon, grow bright and make this endless day
Endless night, tonight
Today, the world was just an adress
A place for me to live in
No better than all right.
But here you are, and what was just a world
Is a star, tonight
