Save Tonight
Fréro Delavega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause all we need is candle light
You and me and a bottle of wine
Going to hold you tonight
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish, I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
Let's delay our misery, oh
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 girl, it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away, yes it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling please don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go, oh
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
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
Oh girl you know I've got to go, oh
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
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone

It's not just the music that we seek in these older songs
But also the memories they unleash
@n8tvn8tnbaker4
So very true
@Bkamron
This is it... the feelings you had when life was so much simpler. The entire Road Rash 64 soundtrack does that to me.

If only I had known just how good things were at the time, and how shit things would become.
