Didnt I say I wasnt ready for romance
Didnt 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
Didnt I swear there would be no complications
Didnt you want someone whos seen it all before
Now that youre here, its not the same situation
Suddenly I dont remember the rules anymore
This night is mine
Its on-ly you and I
Tomorrow is a long time away
This night can last forever
Ive been around, someone like me should know better
Falling in love would be the worst thing I could do
Didnt I say I needed time to forget her
Arent you running from someone whos not over you
How many nights have I been lonely without you
I tell myself how much I really dont care
How many nights have I been thinking about you
Wanting to hold you but knowing you would not be there
This night youre mine
Its on-ly you and I
Ill tell you to forget yesterday
This night we are together
This night is mine
Its on-ly you and I
Tomorrow is such a long time away
This night can last forever
Tomorrow is a long time away
This night can last forever
