From the recording Make No Mistake
Lyrics
Only For Tonight © 2020 Brian Kaplan
What I said and what I mean to say
Doesn’t matter anyway
Stuttered, stammered on the way
To make a point that didn’t need to be made
Who I am and who I mean to be
Steam rising off an August street
Through the windows and up the eaves
Gentle boughs rock the summer leaves
You are the way
You are today
When they should’ve made your bed
They left you lying there
Only for tonight
Only till tomorrow
Rid you of your sorrow
And get some rest
Only for tonight
Only till the morning
Take it as a warning
And start again
What I saw and what I mean to see
A fox as it gathers speed
Growing smaller every time
One day leave it all behind
You are the way
You are today
When they should’ve made your bed
They left you lying there
Only for tonight
Only till tomorrow
Rid you of your sorrow
And get some rest
Only for tonight
Only till the morning
Take it as a warning
And start again
Tonight, I'll to you
Tonight, I’ll comfort you
Tonight, I am for you
All the riots we will lead
And all the drums we'll ever beat
Are right
All the songs that we will sing
In desperate, pleading harmony
Are right
Are right
Are right
Only for tonight
Only till tomorrow
Rid you of your sorrow
And get some rest
Only for tonight
Only till the morning
Take it as a warning
And start again
Take it as a warning
And start again
