Tonight Will Last Forever

Janis Ian

The sun won't rise tomorrow
to tell the world your sorrow,
and if the moon
should beg or borrow time,
tonight will last forever

The stars in flight parading,
and now their light is fading,
As one by one,
they fall into the sun
Tonight will last forever

Starlight...
The winds of war astound me
The wind and roar surround me
through the night

Midnight...
The sky goes on forever
I guess it's now or never
I guess it's now

Two lovers meet, horizons fall
The stars collide, and the heavens pall
To touch the sky
you run before you crawl
Tonight will last forever

To touch the sky,
you run before you crawl
Tonight will last forever
