Lyrics
Tonight, I hold to nothing but the feelings in my soul
My heart overflows with emotions I just can’t control
There’s someone you are going to
But tonight, I just can’t tell right from wrong
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Give me one night of your life
Just be mine ’til the dawn
Tomorrow, the real world will come crashing down on me
I know I must lose you, that’s the way it has to be
But tonight I see no boundaries
So I beg you before my chance is gone
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Give me one night of your life
So I can go on ’til the day
But tonight I see no boundaries
So I beg you before my chance is gone
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Give me one night of your life
Just be mine ’til the dawn
And will you be mine until tomorrow?
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Will you be mine until tomorrow?
Will you be mine…
