Forever Tonight
Written by Jan Hammer & Colin Hodgkinson
Lead vocals by Glenn Burtnick
Time moves so slow through the day
I count off the year, June to May
I walk in a dream you could say
Nothing’s real, so it seems
With you far away
But I’ll see you
I’ll see you tonight
Each sound from the street speaks your name
The rest of the day’s just a game
The sun leaves the sky to the stars
And the dark when I see you dance
Frame by frame
And I’m with you
And I want it to last
Forever tonight
Oh morning light, don’t come today
Forever tonight
Stars so bright—Oh let it stay
The night has a life of its own
For a moment I’m not a lone
The hours are not here to last
Touch my face with your hand
Then you’re gone, gone so fast
But you’re with me
Like you never went away
The music and lights weave a spell
What is dream, what is real
I can’t tell
Must it always be only this way
That the night brings us so close
The day far away
Please stay with me
‘Cause I want you tonight
Forever tonight…
