Lyrics Save Tonight

Save Tonight by Eagle-Eye Cherry deals with the theme of cherishing the present moment with a loved one before an inevitable parting. Based on the concept of living in the now, understanding that tomorrow brings change. Released in 1997, it became an international hit.

Go on and close the curtains,
'cause all we need is candlelight
You and me and a bottle of wine
Gonna hold you tonight ah-yeah
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
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, it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye,
darling please don't start to cry
Cause girl you know I got to go, oh
And lord I wish it wasn't so

To 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
Girl you know I 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
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
