This Night Songtext
von Billy Joel

Didn′t I say
I wasn't ready for a romance
Didn′t we promise
We would only be friends

And so we danced
Though it was only a slow dance
I started breaking my promises
Right there and then

Didn't I swear
There would be no complications
Didn't you want
Someone who′s seen it all before

Now that you′re here
It's not the same situation
Suddenly I don′t remember the rules anymore


This night is mine
It's only you and i
Tomorrow
Is a long time away
This night can last forever

I′ve been around
Someone like me should know better
Falling in love
Would be the worst thing I could do

Didn't I say
I needed time to forget her
Aren′t you running from someone
Who's not over you

How many nights
Have I been lonely without you
I tell myself
How much I really don't care

How many nights
Have I been thinking about you
Wanting to hold you
But knowing you would not be there


This night
You′re mine
It′s only you and i
I'll tell you
To forget yesterday
This night we are together

This night
Is mine
It′s only you and i
Tomorrow
Is such a long time away
This night can last forever

Tomorrow
Is such a long time away
This night can last forever
