Not Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Someday I may cry when see the place
And I might avoid that candlelit cafe
It may hurt when friends ask where you are
And when I think of you the tears may start
But I've got one more chance to make things right
Tomorrow you may leave but not tonight
Not tonight no not tonight
My loving arms will hold you till daylight
Not tonight no not tonight
My heart won't give you up without a fight
Not tonight
Someday I may not have you here to love
And your memory might have to be enough
I know you got your eyes on someone else
But tonight I'm gonna keep you for myself
And I've got one more chance to make things right
Tomorrow you may leave but not tonight
Not tonight no not tonight
My loving arms will hold you till daylight
Not tonight no not tonight
My heart won't give you up without a fight
Not tonight
Not tonight oh no not tonight
My loving arms will hold you till daylight
Not tonight oh no not tonight
My loving arms will hold you till daylight
Not tonight no not tonight
My heart won't give you up without a fight
Not tonight
No no not tonight oh no not tonight
