Been one tough week, dead on my feet
But I've made plans for tonight
When I'm feeling blue, know just what to do
How to make it right

Seems like I've needed this forever
Gonna have myself a night to remember

Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures on the floor
Throw the dust off of our past, let it all come floodin' back
'Cause it ain't easy being strong and when I can't forget you're gone
I'll just surrender and have myself a night to remember

Sad ain't my style but once in a while
I just have to give in
'Cause a woman like you is so hard to lose
You just don't want it to end

I know this can't go on forever
So tonight I'll have a night to remember

Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures on the floor
Throw the dust off of our past let it all come floodin' back
'Cause it ain't easy being strong and when I can't forget you're gone
I'll just surrender and have myself a night to remember

Oh it ain't easy being strong and when I can't forget you're gone
I'll just surrender, have myself a night to remember
