Forever Tonight [Hammer, featuring Glenn Burtnick]

Forever Tonight
Written by Jan Hammer & Colin Hodgkinson
Lead vocals by Glenn Burtnick

Time moves so slow through the day
I count off the year, June to May
I walk in a dream you could say
Nothing’s real, so it seems
With you far away
But I’ll see you
I’ll see you tonight

Each sound from the street speaks your name
The rest of the day’s just a game
The sun leaves the sky to the stars
And the dark when I see you dance
Frame by frame
And I’m with you
And I want it to last

Forever tonight
Oh morning light, don’t come today
Forever tonight
Stars so bright—Oh let it stay

Forever tonight
Oh morning light, don’t come today
Forever tonight

The night has a life of its own
For a moment I’m not alone
The hours are not here to last
Touch my face with your hand
Then you’re gone, gone so fast
But you’re with me
Like you never went away

The music and lights weave a spell
What is dream, what is real
I can’t tell
Must it always be only this way
That the night brings us close
The day far away
Please stay with me
‘Cause I want you tonight

Forever tonight
Oh morning light, don’t come today
Forever tonight
Stars so bright—Oh let it stay

Forever tonight
Forever tonight—Oh let it stay
Forever tonight
Forever tonight—Oh let it stay

Forever tonight
Forever tonight—Oh let it stay
Forever tonight
Forever tonight—Oh let it stay

Forever tonight
Forever tonight—Oh let it stay
Forever tonight
Forever tonight—Oh let it stay

Interpretation

I just we could be together like this forever.  It's like a dream, but it's real
