Forever for Tonight
Eternal Moments: Vivienne Wilder's Melodic Tale of Love and Connection
Lyrics
Hey baby, yeah you at the bar
Expressing acknowledgment to someone at the bar
You remind me of that movie star
Comparing the person to a movie star, suggesting admiration
I've been drinking, I hope that you don't mind
Indicating consumption of alcohol, hoping the person doesn't mind
But I could look at you for forever
Expressing the desire to gaze at the person indefinitely
Hey baby, don't be afraid
Encouraging the person not to be afraid
We're fading, it's getting late
Noting the passage of time, implying a sense of urgency
I can tell that something's on your mind
Sensing that something is on the person's mind
And I could listen for forever
Expressing the willingness to listen for an extended period
Close your eyes
Encouraging the person to close their eyes
I'm who you're missing
Asserting oneself as the missed presence
Just pretend
Suggesting a scenario of pretending
She's who you're kissing
Acknowledging an alternate romantic involvement
Hey baby, you're trembling
Noticing the person's trembling, expressing concern
Don't you worry, I don't want anything
Assuring the person that nothing is expected or wanted
Lean on me, put your hand in mine
Inviting physical closeness and support
And I could hold you for forever
Expressing the desire to hold the person indefinitely
Maybe baby, we're the last ones alive
Speculating on the possibility of being the last survivors
The floor's empty, it's the end of the night
Describing an empty dance floor, signaling the end of the night
If you lead me into the light
Suggesting willingness to follow the person into a positive direction
We could be in love forever for tonight
Expressing the potential for a temporary but intense love
Close your eyes
Repeating the encouragement to close eyes, emphasizing tranquility
And nothing's troubling
Assuring the absence of troubles in the moment
Just pretend
Returning to the theme of pretending
Let's keep on waltzing
Suggesting the continuation of a pleasant activity (waltzing)
