Lyrics for Song: This Night Won't Last Forever
Lyrics for Album: Classic Masters [2002]
Everybody likes a celebration ... happy music and conversation,
But I'd be lyin' if I said I didn't have the blues.
In the corner there's a couple dancin' ... from the kitchen I can hear her laughin',
Oh I - wish I was celebratin' too.
Chorus:
I know this night won't last forever,
I know the sun's gonna shine sometime,
I need some hope for a bright tomorrow,
To show this heart is gonna mend just fine.
So pardon me for my disposition ... wish I didn't have to sit and listen,
She's playin' the same old songs on the stereo,
She's been lyin' since the day I met her ... I'd be better off to just forget her,
Oh I - would rather be lonesome or go.
Chorus:
I know this night won't last forever,
I know the sun's gonna shine sometime.
I need some hope for a bright tomorrow,
To show this heart is gonna mend just fine.
Bridge:
Such a ridiculous situation ..... pretending there's nothing wrong,
She's comin' on with the invitation ..... I wonder who is takin' her home.
Chorus:
I know this night won't last forever,
I know the sun's gonna shine sometime,
I need some hope for a bright tomorrow,
To show this heart is gonna mend just fine.
(repeat and fade)
