Mine Tonight

You look at me
as if to say
"Tonight, I'll be with you."

And my heart leaps 
a thousand times
to think I'm getting through
to your caress
the happiness
I'll find, inside, your arms

While other men
must try again
Some other night
some other night

For, you are mine tonight
you are mine, this time
you will be, alone with me
for, you are mine tonight

The setting sun 
has left us one
the moon will rise
to find us
Alone at last
at last, with you
with your Lover's eyes


I look at you
as if to say
"Tonight was heavenly."

And your heart leaps
a thousand times
to think I'm getting through
to your caress
the happiness
you've found, inside, my arms

While other men
must try again
Some other night
some other night


For, you are (were) mine tonight
you are (were) mine, this time
you will be (were), alone with me
for, you are (were) mine tonight
