Tonight

Lyrics

[INNKEEPER, spoken] Here it is, the bridal room Oh here, through the window you can see the Elbe [ILSE, spoken] Oh, it's beautiful! [GOLO, spoken] Not bad! [INNKEEPER, spoken] Such a wonderful view You can see it from the bed even [GOLO, spoken] Here, let us look at the Elbe while you bring up some wine [INNKEEPER, spoken] Some supper too, maybe? [GOLO, spoken] Just wine [INNKEEPER, spoken] Very good Oh, and your baggage? [GOLO, spoken] Madam, how dare you Oh, ha, of course, my baggage That will come in the morning [INNKEEPER, spoken] Yes, sir [ILSE, spoken] But Michael— [GOLO, spoken] Why do you call me Michael? [ILSE, spoken] Isn't that your name? [GOLO, spoken] Oh, of course it's my name, Michael Of coursе, but tonight of all nights, you mustn't call me Michael You must call me sweethеart, beloved, dearest Anything but Michael Tomorrow I am Michael, but tonight I am yours [ILSE, spoken] I knew it would be like this I knew it from the moment I saw you [GOLO, spoken] I never knew it would be like this [GOLO] Dear one, it was fated We've been living for Tonight All the years I've waited For the wonder of Tonight Facing whatever Morning may bring Love me tonight or never Let the moonbeams find us In each other's arms Tonight While we leave behind us All the world's alarms Tonight You are love and love can lead the way to heaven Lead me to heaven tonight [GOLO, spoken] Here's a toast to love And to all lovers [ILSE, spoken] Especially to us! [ILSE] Deep in the heart of me Here tonight Love is more than a part of me Here tonight Your kisses enthrall You are my all And though heaven fall I'm yours forever What is there to fear? I'm with you Let my trembling disappear I'm with you The love star is bright Drink to love's delight I'm yours tonight [GOLO & ILSE] Facing whatever (Your kisses enthrall) Morning may bring (You are my all) Love me tonight or never (And though heaven fall) I'm yours forever Let the moonbeams find us (What is there to fear?) In each other's arms tonight (I'm with you) While we leave behind us (Let my trembling disappear) All the world's alarms tonight (I'm with you) You are love and love can lead the way to heaven (The love star is bright) Drink to love's delight Lead me to heaven tonight (I'm yours tonight) [ILSE, spoken] But dearest, I forgot We're not married [GOLO, spoken] No, we're not married [ILSE, spoken] Then we mustn't We can't [GOLO, spoken] Does one night matter so much? To whom? Whom will know? [ILSE, spoken] It would only be 'til tomorrow [GOLO, spoken] And what if there is no tomorrow? What if there is only tonight, and you, and me? Only me No? I leave it to you Is it tomorrow, or is it tonight? [ILSE, spoken] Tonight!
