Save Tonight
Embracing Goodbyes: A Night of Wine and Farewells
Lyrics
I wanna close the curtains
Expressing a desire for privacy or intimacy by closing the curtains.
'Cause all we need is candlelight
Highlighting the simplicity of needing only candlelight for a romantic setting.
You and me and a bottle of wine
Describing a romantic moment with a partner involving wine.
To hold you tonight
Expressing a desire to hold the partner closely during the night.
Well, we know I'm going away
Acknowledging the imminent departure and separation.
And 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 enjoyment despite the upcoming separation.
Let's delay our misery
Proposing to postpone or forget about the sadness and difficulties temporarily.
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Encouraging to make the most of the present moment, fighting against the approaching morning.
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Expressing the inevitability of leaving by the next day.
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Reiterating the call to seize the night before the departure.
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Emphasizing the imminent departure in the upcoming tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
Repeating the idea of being gone in the near future.
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
-There's a log on the fire
Metaphorically describing a burning desire or passion.
And it burns like me for you
Comparing the fire's intensity to the singer's feelings for the partner.
Tomorrow comes with no desire
Stating that the next day holds no motivation to stay.
To take me away, it's true
Confirming the truth of being taken away the next day.
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Admitting the difficulty in saying goodbye.
Darling, please don't start to cry
Pleading with the partner not to cry at the impending departure.
Cause boy, you know I've got to go
Acknowledging the necessity of leaving.
Oh, and Lord, I wish it wasn't so
Expressing a wish for the departure not to be necessary.
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Repeating the urgency to save tonight and the inevitability of being gone tomorrow.
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
-Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
-Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
-Save, save, save, save
Emphasizing the importance of saving tonight through repetition.
Save tonight, save tonight, save tonight, save tonight
-And tomorrow comes to take me away
Declaring that tomorrow will take the singer away.
I wish that I, I wish that I could stay
Expressing a wish to stay despite the impending departure.
But boy, you know I've got to go
Reiterating the inevitability of leaving, despite the desire to stay.
And Lord, I wish it wasn't so
Expressing a wish for the departure not to be necessary.
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Repeating the plea to save tonight and the acknowledgment of being gone tomorrow.
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
-Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
-Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
-Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
-Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
-Tomorrow, I'll be gone
Repeating the idea of being gone tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
-I'll be gone
-Tomorrow, I'll be gone
Reiterating the finality of being gone by tomorrow.
