Tonight

Tonight

Years from now

We'll laugh and cry

about foolish mistakes

lonely moments,

and painful happenings

that all had happy endings.

months from now

we'll sing out our love

dance on the tables,

cry in our beer

and dream the dreams

that only love brings.

days from now

we'll wake to the sunshine and the birds

jump naked from the bed

into life

knowing that what we have

is what we want.

Tonight

will last forever

it always does when you're not here.

But, even though when we're apart

time stands still,

love does not.
