Save Tonight

As performed by Eagle Eye Cherry
A #2 Top 40 hit from 1998

Go on and close the curtains
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me and the bottle of wine
And hold you tonight

Well, we know I'm going away
And how I wish, I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
Let's delay our misery...

Save tonight, fight the break at dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone

There's a log on the fire, and it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire, to take me away

It ain't easy to say goodbye,
Darling please don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go,
And Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight, fight the break at dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone

Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go, oh
And Lord I wish it wasn't so

Save tonight, fight the break at dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
