Tonight Will Last Forever

(album: Janis Ian - 1978)

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
