Tonight (West Side Story) Songtext
von Leonard Bernstein

MARIA
Only you, you′re the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes, in my words and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever
TONY
And there′s nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria
MARIA
Tony, Tony...
TONY
Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go, you'll be
MARIA
All the world is only you and me...
Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
Tonight, tonight
There′s only you tonight


What you are, what you do, what you say
TONY
Today
All day I had a feeling
A miracle would happen
I know now I was right
TONY and MARIA
For here you are
And what was once a world is a star
Tonight
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild a bright
Going mad, shooting sparks into space
Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than alright
But here you are
And what was once a world is a star
Tonight
OFFSTAGE VOICE (spoken)
Maruca!
MARIA (spoken)
I cannot stay. Go quickly!
TONY

I′m not afraid
MARIA
Please
TONY
Goodnight
MARIA
Buenas noches
TONY
I love you
MARIA
Yes, yes. Hurry. Wait! When will I see you?
TONY
Tomorrow
MARIA
I work at the bridal shop across the street. Lucia's
TONY
I′ll come there
MARIA
At closing time. Six o'clock
TONY
Yes
MARIA
Goodnight
TONY
Goodnight
MARIA
Tony!
TONY
Shhh!
MARIA
When you come, use the back door
TONY
Si
MARIA
Tony! What does Tony stand for?
TONY
Anton
MARIA
Te adoro, Anton
TONY
Te adoro, Maria
TONY and MARIA (sung)
Good night, good night
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight
