Michael Johnson — This Night Won't Last Forever lyrics

Lyrics

But I’d be lyin' if I said I didn’t have the blues.
In the corner there’s a couple dancin' … from the kitchen I can hear her
laughin',
Oh I — wish I was celebratin' too.
I know this night won’t last forever,
I know the sun’s gonna shine sometime,
I need some hope for a bright tomorrow,
To show this heart is gonna mend just fine.
So pardon me for my disposition … wish I didn’t have to sit and listen,
She’s playin' the same old songs on the stereo,
She’s been lyin' since the day I met her … I’d be better off to just forget
her,
Oh I — would rather be lonesome or go.
I know this night won’t last forever,
I know the sun’s gonna shine sometime.
I need some hope for a bright tomorrow,
To show this heart is gonna mend just fine.
Bridge:
Such a ridiculous situation … pretending there’s nothing wrong,
She’s comin' on with the invitation … I wonder who is takin' her home.
I know this night won’t last forever,
I know the sun’s gonna shine sometime,
I need some hope for a bright tomorrow,
To show this heart is gonna mend just fine.
(repeat and fade)
