Tonight
Sonia Spence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tonight you′re mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Tonight you′ll see the magic of your eyes
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won′t ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Instrument playing
Tonight you′ll see the magic of your eyes
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I′d like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
Will you still love me tomorrow
Your sweet sweet love tomorrow
(Will you still love me tomorrow)
Would you still leave it tommorrow
(Will you still love me tomorrow)
Will you still love me tomorrow
The lyrics of Sonia Spence's song "Tonight" speaks about a woman who is unsure of the future of her relationship with her lover.

However, the chorus questioning whether this love will remain tomorrow suggests that the woman is anxious about the future of their relationship. She wonders if their love is lasting or just a temporary fling. This uncertainty stems from the lack of spoken words of commitment from her lover, whom she hopes will reciprocate her love in the long run.
The verses follow the same theme of uncertainty, with the woman eagerly wanting to know if her lover's love for her is sincere and if he would still love her tomorrow. She expresses her desire to be sure of her lover's love for her, so as not to end up heartbroken if he decides to leave her. The song ends with a repeated chant for the assurance of love tomorrow.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tonight" express the very human yearning for love and the fear of uncertainty that comes with it. It speaks to the universally relatable experience of wanting to know if our love is returned and if it will last.
