About You and Me (Tonight)

"You and Me (Tonight)" is the second single release from English singer Alistair Griffin from his debut album Bring It On (2004). "You and Me" is a romantic ballad, originally written several years earlier by Griffin and Ultra bandmate Jon O'Mahony. Griffin had never intended to record the song himself, and it was used as an album track by Dutch Idols runner-up Jim Bakkum. His album, Impressed released in August 2003, charted at #1 in the Netherlands. In late 2003 Griffin recorded his own version for inclusion on his debut album, (released in January 2004 on the UMTV label) with additional writing credits by Tom Nichol and Greg Fitzgerald, and the song was re-titled "You and Me (Tonight)".

Have you ever loved someone?
But you waited just to long
To tell them what you're feeling
Well maybe I was just to proud, To say I love you right out loud
Lost for words I must believe in
On this night, that holds us both within
Set me free, oh let me live again

[Chorus]
It's you and me tonight, 
With these feelings we can't fight, 
Just two people lost but maybe found together, 
And if we make it through and tomorrow find the truth. 
You know I would fall, I would risk it all, just for you.

I gotta find a way somehow
Cause all we have is here and now
This can't wait until tomorrow
But if the morning comes to soon,
We'll run away and chase the moon
Like a dream that you must follow
If you go, I wan't be in your way
Cause in my eyes, all I have to say is

[Chorus]

Let your real ambitions go inside, outside through
Set your jeart for free lets run and hide
Cause tonight, it's just me and you
(It's you and me tonight) yeah

[Chorus]
