Billy Joel - This Night

Billy Joel - This Night


Didn`t I say
I wasn`t ready for a 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

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 such a long time away
This night can last forever

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