This Night Won't Last Forever lyrics
by Michael Johnson



Everybody likes a celebration

Happy music and conversation

But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the blues



In the corner there's a couple dancing

From the kitchen I can hear her laughing

Oh I wish I was celebrating, too



(Chorus)

I know this night won't last forever

I know the sun is gonna shine some time

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 playing the same old songs on the stereo



She's been lying since the day I met her

I'd be better off to just forget her

Oh I would rather be lonesome all alone



(Chorus)

I know this night won't last forever

I know the sun is gonna shine some time

I need some hope for a bright tomorrow

To show this heart is gonna mend just fine





Such a ridiculous situation

Pretending there's nothing wrong

She's coming on with the invitation

I wonder who is taking her home



(Chorus)

I know this night won't last forever

I know the sun is gonna shine some time

I need some hope for a bright tomorrow

To show this heart is gonna mend just fine
