Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
I know your plans
Don’t include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter
From all that we see
Why should we worry
No one will care girl
Look at the stars now
So far away
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t you stay[Sheena:]
Deep in my soul
I’ve been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I’ve longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I’ll keep searching after today

[Kenny:]
So there it is girl
We’ve got it all now

[Sheena:]
And here we are, babe
What do you say

[Together:]
We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t you stay

[Kenny:]
I know it’s late
And I know you’re weary
I know your plans
Don’t include me

[Sheena:]
Still here we are

[Together:]
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

[Kenny:]
We’ve got tonight

[Sheena:]
Who needs tomorrow

[Kenny:]
Let’s make it last

[Sheena:]
Let’s find a way

[Kenny:]
Turn out the light

[Sheena:]
Oooooh-ho, come take my hand now

[Together:]
We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t we stay
We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t we stay
