Just for tonight, I will stay
Because I have no other place to go.
Just for tonight, I will drink and dine with you.
Because I must eat and drink to live.
Just for tonight, I will sit by the fire with you
Because the air is so very chilly.
Just for tonight, I will let you hold me
Because your arms calm my inner tremblings.
Just for tonight, I will let you make love to me
Because it has been so long.
Just for tonight, I will believe your 'I love you's
Because I long for them to be true.
Just for tonight, it will be just you and I
Because that is how it should have been always.
Just for tonight, I will be happy
Because tomorrow night I will be stronger.
