About This Night

"This Night" is a song by Billy Joel and the fifth single from his album An Innocent Man. The basis of the song's chorus uses the second movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata. Beethoven is credited as one of the song's writers on the sleeve of the album as "L.v. Beethoven". The song, released as a single only in the UK and Japan, reached #78 on the UK Singles Chart and #88 on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart. Joel has said in interviews that "This Night" was written about his brief relationship with supermodel Elle Macpherson, whom he dated just prior to second wife Christie Brinkley. In the United States, "This Night" was the B-side of "Leave a Tender Moment Alone". more »

Didn't I say 
I wasn't ready for romance?
Didn't we promise 
We would only be friends?
And so we danced
Though it was only a slow dance,
I started breaking my promises right there and then

Didn't I swear 
There would be no complications?
Didn't you want 
Someone who's seen it all before?
Now that you're here
It's not the same situation,
Suddenly I don't remember the rules anymore

This night is mine
It's only you and I
Tomorrow is a long time away
This night can last forever

I've been around 
Someone like me should know better
Falling in love 
Would be the worst thing I could do
Didn't I say 
I needed time to forget her?
Aren't you running 
From someone who's not over you?

How many nights 
Have I been lonely without you?
I tell myself 
How much I really don't care
How many nights 
Have I been thinking about you?
Wanting to hold you 
But knowing you would not be there

But this night you're mine
It's only you and I
I'll tell you to forget yesterday
This night we are together

This night is mine
It's only you and I
Tomorrow is a long time away
This night can last forever

This night
Ooh
Ooh

Tomorrow is such a long time away
This night can last forever
