We've Got Tonight
Embracing the Night: A Tale of Loneliness and Love
Lyrics
I know it's late
I acknowledge the lateness of the hour.
I know you're weary
I recognize that you are tired.
I know your plans babe
I'm aware of your plans, and I'm not part of them.
Don't include me
Understandably, you have plans that don't involve me.
Still here we are
Despite our circumstances, we find ourselves here.
Both of us lonely
Both of us are experiencing loneliness.
Longing for shelter
We crave refuge from the challenges we face.
From all that we see
Seeking solace from the world around us.
Why should we worry
Why should we be concerned about the opinions of others?
No one will care girl
No one will pay attention or judge, my dear.
Look at the stars babe
Reflecting on the distant stars.
So far away
The stars seem so distant and unattainable.
We've got tonight
We have this night.
Who needs tomorrow?
Why worry about tomorrow when we have the present?
We got tonight, babe
This night is ours, my love.
Why don't you stay?
Why not stay with me?
Deep in my soul
Deep within me, I've been profoundly lonely.
I've been so lonely
I've experienced a sense of isolation in my soul.
All of my hopes babe
All my hopes are diminishing.
Fading away
My aspirations are fading away.
I've longed for love
I've yearned for love like everyone else.
Like everyone else does
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
I know I'll keep searching
I acknowledge that I will continue searching for love.
Even after today
Even after today, I will persist in my quest for love.
So there it is girl
This is the truth, my dear.
I've said it all now
I have expressed everything now.
And here we are babe
Here we are, facing the reality of the moment.
Now what do you say?
What is your response to this, my love?
We got tonight
We have this night.
Who needs tomorrow?
Why worry about tomorrow when we have the present?
We got tonight babe
This night is ours, my love.
Why don't you stay?
Why not stay with me?
I know it's late, I know you're weary
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of lateness and weariness.
And I know your plans don't include me
Reiteration that your plans don't involve me.
Still here we are
Despite our circumstances, we find ourselves here.
Both of us lonely
Both of us are experiencing loneliness.
Both of us lonely
Emphasis on the shared loneliness.
We got tonight
We have this night.
Who needs tomorrow?
Why worry about tomorrow when we have the present?
We got tonight babe
This night is ours, my love.
Why don't you stay?
Why not stay with me?
We got tonight babe
We have this night, my love.
Why don't you stay
Why not stay with me?
