This Night Won't Last Forever by Michael Johnson Intro- 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) Such a ridiculous situation Pretending there's nothing wrong She's coming on with the invitation I wonder who is taking her home (Chorus)
