Billy Joel - This Night lyrics

Didn't I say I wasn't ready for romance?
Didn't 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

Didn't I swear there would
Be no complications?
Didn't you want someone who's
Seen it all before? Now that you're here
It's not the same situation
Suddenly, I don't remember the rules anymore

This night is mine it's only you and I
Tomorrow is a long time away
This night can last forever

I've been around
Someone like me should know better
Falling in love would be the
Worst thing I could do
Didn't I say I needed time to forget her?
Aren't you running from someone
Who's not over you?

How many nights have I
Been lonely without you?
I tell myself how much I really don't care
How many nights have I
Been thinking about you?
Wanting to hold you but knowing
You would not be there

This night, you're mine it's only you and I
I'll tell you to forget yesterday
This night we are together

This night is mine it's only you and I
Tomorrow is such a long time away
This night can last forever

Tomorrow is such a long time away
This night can last forever
