There's a time in life
When we think we'll fight alone...
It seems like nobody you know
But tonight... we're together
Cause friends we are forever
But tonight... we're together
Tonight... take it easy
No drinks, no dreams
Tonight... take it easy
You'll find your love
Tonight... take it easy
No drinks, no dreams
Tonight... take it easy
This is your night, you need it
Over your future take it
Feel inside and say 'I live tonight'
We're so unrelated
All the rainbow we take it
Feel inside and say 'I live tonight'
No dreams tonight...
Tonight... we'll never be alone
From tonight... we'll never be alone
But tonight... we're together
Cause friends we are forever
But tonight... we're together
Cause friends are forever
Tonight... take it easy
No drinks, no dreams
Tonight... take it easy
No drinks, no dreams
Tonight... take it easy
