Billy Joel This Night Lyrics

This Night Lyrics

Didn't I say

I wasn't ready for a romance

Didn't we promise

We would
only be friends



And so we danced

Though it was only a slow
dance

I started breaking my promises

Right there and
then



Didn't I swear

There would be no complications

Didn't you
want

Someone who's seen it all before



Now that you're here

It's
not the same situation

Suddenly I don't remember the rules
anymore



This night is mine

It's only you and I

Tomorrow

Is
a long time away

This night can last forever



I've been
around

Someone like me should know better

Falling in love

Would be
the worst thing I could do



Didn't I say

I needed time to forget
her

Aren't you running from someone

Who's not over you



How
many nights

Have I been lonely without you

I tell myself

How much I
really don't care



How many nights

Have I been thinking about
you

Wanting to hold you

But knowing you would not be
there



This night

You're mine

It's only you and I

I'll tell
you

To forget yesterday

This night we are together



This
night

Is mine

It's only you and I

Tomorrow

Is such a long time
away

This night can last forever



Tomorrow

Is such a long time
away

This night can last forever
