We’ve Got Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kenny Rogers]
I know it's late
I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see

[Pre-Chorus: Kenny Rogers]
Why should we worry?
No one will care, girl
Look at the stars now, so far away

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers]
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't you stay?

[Verse 2: Sheena Easton & Kenny Rogers]
Deep in my soul
I feel so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I've longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching after today

[Pre-Chorus: Kenny Rogers, Sheena Easton]
So there it is, girl
We've got it all now
And here we are, babe
What do you say?

[Chorus: Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton]
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?

[Bridge: Kenny Rogers, Sheena Easton, Both]
I know it's late and I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely, both of us lonely

[Chorus Outro: Kenny Rogers, Sheena Easton, Both]
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light, ohhh, come take my hand now
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?
We've got tonight, babe, why don't we stay?
