 Come and close
 The curtains
 'Cause all we need
 is candle light
 You and me
 And a bottle  of wine
And  I'll hold you tonight
 Well we know
 I'm going  away
 And how I wish I  wish it weren't  so
 So take this wine
 And drink  with me
Let's  delay our misery
Save tonight
 And fight  the break of dawn
 Come tomorrow
 Tomorrow  I'll be gone
 Save tonight
 And fight  the break of dawn
 Come tomorrow
 Tomorrow  I'll be gone
 There's log
 On the fire
 And it burns
 Like me  for you
 Tomorrow comes
 With one desire
 To take  me way
 It ain't easy
 To say good-bye
 Darling please
 Don't start to cry
 'Cause girl  you know I got  to go
 Oh, and lord,  I wish it wasn't  so
Save tonight
 And fight  the break of dawn
 Come tomorrow
 Tomorrow  I'll be gone
 Save tonight
 And fight  the break of dawn
 Come tomorrow
 Tomorrow  I'll be gone
