Lyrics
Go on and close the curtains
Symbolic of shutting out the outside world to create an intimate setting
′Cause all we need is candlelight
Expressing that intimacy and affection are the essentials
You and me, and a bottle of wine
Describing a romantic moment between two people sharing wine
To hold you tonight, oh yeah
Expressing the desire to hold the partner closely
Well we know I'm going away
Acknowledging an impending departure
And how I wish - I wish it weren′t so
Expressing a wish for the departure not to happen
So take this wine and drink with me
Inviting the partner to share a moment of togetherness
And let's delay our misery
Suggesting to postpone facing the sadness of separation
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Repeated urging to cherish the current moment and delay the inevitable departure until the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow - tomorrow I′ll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow - tomorrow I′ll be gone
-There′s a log on the fire
Metaphorically comparing the fire to intense emotions
And it burns like me for you
Expressing strong passion and desire for the partner
Tomorrow comes with one desire
Highlighting the anticipation of the next day taking the singer away
To take me away, ohh it's true
Repeated urging to cherish the current moment and delay the inevitable departure until the break of dawn
It ain′t easy to say good-bye
Conveying the difficulty in bidding farewell
Darlin' please, don′t start to cry
Pleading with the partner not to cry
'Cause girl you know I′ve got to go
Acknowledging the necessity of leaving
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Expressing a wish for things to be different
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Repeated urging to cherish the current moment and delay the inevitable departure until the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow - tomorrow I′ll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow - tomorrow I′ll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
-Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow – and save tonight
Reiterating the plea to save tonight as the departure is imminent
