Tonight You Belong to Me
Patience & Prudence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You belong to somebody new
But Tonight you belong to me
Although (although) we're apart
You're a part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey I know (I know)
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Way down, way down along the stream
How very, very sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight
My honey, I know (I know)
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just to little old me
The lyrics of Patience & Prudence's song Tonight You Belong To Me express a sentiment of fleeting love and longing.

The singer speaks of the person being a part of their heart, which deepens the emotional connection between them.
The lyrics also describe a dreamlike setting of being beside a stream in the moonlight, which only intensifies the romantic and fleeting nature of the moment. The singer is aware that come dawn, the person will be gone, but they choose to savor the present nonetheless. The last line, "Just to little old me", hints at a sense of inadequacy or unworthiness, but the use of "little old me" also emphasizes the singer's vulnerability and earnestness.
Overall, the lyrics of Tonight You Belong To Me convey a bittersweet moment of intimacy, fueled by the awareness that it cannot last. It's a poignant expression of the human desire for connection, even in the face of inevitable partings and loss.

I am aware of the reality
You belong to somebody new
You are committed to someone else
But tonight you belong to me
But for tonight, you are mine
Although (although) we're apart
Despite the physical distance between us
You're a part of my heart
You occupy a space in my heart
And tonight you belong to me
And tonight, I have you to myself
Way down by the stream
In a place near the water
How sweet it will seem
How lovely it will feel
Once more just to dream
To envision something desirable again
In the moonlight
Under the light of the moon
My honey I know (I know)
My dear, I am aware
With the dawn that you will be gone
When the morning comes, you will leave
But tonight you belong to me
But tonight, you are all mine
Way down, way down along the stream
Deep in the vicinity of the water
How very, very sweet it will seem
How incredibly lovely it will feel
Once more just to dream
To envision something desirable again
In the silvery moonlight
In the light of the shining moon
My honey, I know (I know)
My love, I understand
With the dawn that you will be gone
You will depart when the sun rises
But tonight you belong to me
But for tonight, I have you all to myself
Just to little old me
Only to me, your lover

Imagine this, the world's ending. This song plays in the background as a message appears.
"The End
Congratulations! You've made it to the end of the world!!
Now I know it seems intimidating, but never fear!
Many people have been honorable in this world! Others.. not so much.
But we were glad to have you anyways!!
Thanks for playing!"
And it all goes dark

Once more just to dream in the silvery moonlight

With the dawn, that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just to little old me
