Janis Ian - Don't Leave Tonight lyrics

rate me

It's easy to see

We've wasted our time

And now you believe it's the end of the line

I've know all along

That the truth must be told

But I never expected to hear it so cold

No time like today

For yesterday's dreams

When all our parades come apart at their seems

But every dark corner is another man's dream

Do you know what I mean

Do you know what you mean to me

Don't leave tonight

I need tomorrow

We'll put up a fight

To make our love right

Don't leave tonight

Now we've agreed that the laughter and tears

Only relieved the weight of our years

Now that the sunrise is cold-hearted clear

How close the night when the morning draws near

Yesterday's sorrows

Yesterday's dreams

All our tomorrow's how brightly they seem

Begged and we've borrowed

gone bankrupt and lean

Do you know what I mean

Do you know what you mean to me

Don't leave tonight

I need tomorrow

We'll put up a fight

To make our love right

Don't leave tonight

Don't leave tonight

I need tomorrow

We'll put up a fight

Gonna make our love right

Don't leave tonight
