Love Me Tonight

Love Me Tonight
by Tom Chapin & A. Rains Berg

Talk to me ’bout being alone.
Play it slow, sweet as a saxophone.
Where blue is the color
Of something gone wrong
And a tear becomes a song.
Drift inside the darkened glass
Into the moonlight
Where nothing seems to last
Past tonight and that look in your eye
And the warmth in the wind
And the light in the sky
And this is forever, let’s make it tonight,
In the glow of surrender, in the heat of a fight.
Tomorrow is never; I’ll love you forever.
Love me, I’ll love you tonight.

I know that you’re lost
And you don’t understand,
Stay here awhile, open up your hand
And let this song flow through your soul
And let yourself be whole.
For I believe that time will tell.
I believe in you and I’m wishing well.
So lay down beside me,
Hold me and hide me
And set this captive free.
And this is forever, let’s make it tonight,
In the glow of surrender, in the heat of a fight.
Tomorrow is never; I’ll love you forever.
Love me, I’ll love you tonight.
Love me, I’ll love you tonight.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Common Ground CD.
