Go on and close the curtains 'Cause all we need is candlelight You and me, and a bottle of wine To hold you tonight (oh) Well we know I'm going away And how I wish, I wish it weren't so So take this wine and drink with me And let's delay our misery 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 And it burns like me for you Tomorrow comes with one desire To take me away (oh it's true) It ain't easy to say goodbye Darlin' please, don't start to cry 'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh) And Lord I wish it wasn't so 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 Tomorrow comes to take me away I wish that I, that I could stay But girl you know I've got to go (oh) And Lord I wish wasn't so 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 Tomorrow I'll be gone Tomorrow I'll be gone Tomorrow I'll be gone Tomorrow I'll be gone Save tonight Save tonight Save tonight Save tonight Oh, that's right Save tonight Save tonight
