We've Got Tonight
Written by Bob Seger.

Released on the 1996 album The Show Must Go On.

Previously sung by Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band. In 1983 Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton reached No. 6 on the US Billboard with a duet of this song. Also sung by Patti Austin, included on her 1980 LP "Body Language".

Bob Seger wrote: The original title of the song was "This Old House" and it was about rock and roll music. I loved the chords and rewrote the lyric after I saw Robert Redford in "The Sting" say to a waitress "It's four in the morning and I don't know nobody."

Lyrics

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
Why should we worry, no one will care
Look at the stars so far away

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?

Deep in my soul,
I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today

So that there it is
We've got it all now
And here we are
What do you say?

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?

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
Both of us lonely

We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
