We've Got
Ronan Keating Feat. LuLu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today

So that there it is
We've got it all now
And here we are
What do you say?

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight




Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
