We've Got Tonight

 




















We've Got Tonight



Tomorrow's not coming
It's there in your eyes
I don't want your promises
I don't want your lies
I've heard them before
When I was a dumb kid
And we hooked up in high school
But you know what you did
You promised forever
Promised rainbows and rings
I still believed in Prince Charming
And all of those things
The fairy tale romance
The white picket fence
But you had wild oats to sow
And you left me hence
I heard rumors about you
All the women and wine
How you claimed to love each one
With a heart that was still mine
But I went on without you
Pretended I didn't care
Knowing I'd care for no man
But the one standing there
Grabbing me as you whispered
I Love yous in my ears
Telling how you had missed me
Missed me all of those years
"Come to my hotel room!"
You pulled me out of the bar
Promising that same forever
Every bright shining star
I held back, hesitating
Fought each hot fiery flame
Pushed away as you pulled me 
Steeled myself for the game
I saw your tickets to Paris
Your packed bags, your missed call
Your eyes dark as they beckoned
Don't resist me, just fall
"Look, I'm sorry" your spiel started 
I wish I didn't have that flight
You know I'd stay with you forever
But I didn't want to fight......

And that dumb kid in me from high school
Said "It's ok, we've got tonight."
