Lyrics:
I know its late,i know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know Ill keep searching, even after today
So that there it is
We've got it all now
And here we are
What do you say?
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
I know its late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely (2)
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Lets make it last
Lets find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay? (2).
