Steppenwolf - Just for Tonight lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Bobby Cochran and Jerry Edmonton

Walk the lonely highway

Neon signs light the road

Won't you help me find the right way

To a place of time and hope

Where we all get kind of mellow

And where life is not a joke

We're here today gone tomorrow

All in life is ours to own

Bridge: You are with me, I won't ask you why, you are old enough to know

I will move you, and we'll draft away, then tomorrow I will go

Chorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin', just for tonight

Is this cycle never ending

Or am I not meant to know

Lost in life am I pretending

Chasing winds that never blow

Yet in my life I've know many

Sharing moments as we go

Yes we've all had times so empty

That if someone asked we'd go

Bridge: I have held you, in a special way, but I won't see you again

As I leave you sorrow blinds my eyes to the things that are within

Chorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight

As I touch you, we will say goodbye, 'cause the times has come to go

You believe me, and I want to say, I will never let you go

Chorus: Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight

Just for tonight, I will love you darlin, Just for tonight
