This poignant ballad explores the theme of loneliness and the human yearning for companionship. The lyrics depict a scenario where two individuals, both feeling isolated and desolate, find themselves in each other's company. Despite the late hour and their initial plans not involving one another, they are drawn together by a mutual desire for connection and solace. The song emphasizes the significance of living in the present moment ("We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?") suggesting that fleeting moments of comfort can outweigh uncertain futures. Ultimately, it underlines an urgent plea to seize opportunities for intimacy and companionship, even if temporary, as a remedy against life's inherent solitude.
We've Got Tonight
Lyrics
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
Deep in my soul I've been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching even after today
So there it is girl, I've said it all now
And here we are babe, what do you say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last, let's find a way
Turn out the light, come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
