Save Tonight
Robin Schulz 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
Well, we know I'm going away
And I wish, I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
Let's delay our misery
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with no desire
To take me away, it's true
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darling, please don't start to cry
Cause boy, you know I've got to go
Oh, and Lord, I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Save, save, save, save
Save tonight, save tonight, save tonight, save tonight
And tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, I wish that I could stay
But boy, you know I've got to go
And Lord, I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Save tonight, fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll be gone
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Tomorrow, I'll be gone
