This Night Won't Last Forever - Michael Johnson

Everybody likes a celebration ... happy music and conversation,

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.

Chorus:

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.

Chorus:

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.

Chorus:

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.
