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)
