Save Tonight
Alex Goot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight, oh
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish - I wish it wasn't so
So take this wine and drink with me
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away, oh
It ain't easy to say good-bye
Darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go, oh
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Oh...
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
The lyrics of Alex Goot's "Save Tonight" speak of a man who is conflicted about leaving someone he loves behind. The song begins with the lines "Go on and close the curtains/Cause all we need is candlelight/You and me, and a bottle of wine/To hold you tonight." These lyrics suggest that the man is spending one last romantic evening with his partner before he leaves. The following lyrics, "Well, we know I'm going away/And how I wish - I wish it wasn't so," further emphasis his feelings of sadness and reluctance.
The chorus, "Save tonight and fight the break of dawn/Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone," is the man's plea to delay the inevitable parting. He hopes to prolong the night and avoid facing the morning that will take him away from his love. He asks his partner to "take this wine and drink with me/And let's delay our misery," further emphasizing his desire to enjoy their last moments together.
The last verse reveals that the man knows that his departure is unavoidable, and despite his mixed feelings, he knows he has to go. "It ain't easy to say goodbye/Darlin' please, don't start to cry/Cause girl, you know I've got to go, oh/And Lord, I wish it wasn't so." The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song further underscores his plea to extend their time together.
