Tonight I hold to nothing 
but the feelings in my soul
My heart overflows with emotion 
I just can't control
There's someone you are going to 
But tonight 
I just can't tell right from wrong

Let me be yours until tomorrow 
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
Just be mine 'til the dawn

Tomorrow the real world 
Will come crashing down on me
I know I must lose you and that's the way it has to be
But tonight I see no boundries
So I beg you before my chance is gone

Let me be yours until tomorrow 
Let me be yours until tomorrow
Give me one night of your life
So I can go on.

Till the dawn's intrusion 
Ends this sweet illusion
Make believe you're mine, love
This is not goodbye, love,
All I ask is one night, till the morning sunlight
Won't you stay here in my arms
And baby, let me be yours until tomorrow
Let me be yours until tomorrow.
