We've Got Tonight

I didn't like this song when it came out. I heard it in a movie a few years ago and really got hooked by the second verse...

Well I sit here trying

to convince you

that the planets

will never line up

like this again

 

we’ve done the dances

can’t help circumstances

loneliness is killing me

and I know you’re not free

 

so you keep

coming up with

reasons why

but deep in my soul

I hear that symphony

that we can ignite

right now between

you and me

The opening is stellar. It is beautiful in it's simplicity.

we’ve done the dances
can’t help circumstances
loneliness is killing me
and I know you’re not free

recognition between two people that neither one of them are where they want to be?

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

These words are heartfelt. The way that we feel that we have life in our hands
is what made such an impact with me. Elegance and sincerity illuminate this piece.

[Coyote Poetry]

Good music and good words. I missed the sixties and seventies. The word musicians were many then. Words were direct and the point was clearly made in your words. A excellent poem. Thank you.

Oh my! But that song does bring back some memories.. And your words, perfection, they fit so perfectly together.

A winner in my books.

Love that song. Love this piece. Paints the picture and sets the stage well, but leaves much to the imagination, which is good. That way it can be personalized.
