Leonard Cohen
"Tonight Will Be Fine" lyrics

Tonight Will Be Fine

Sometimes I find
I get to thinking of the past
We swore to each other then
That our love would surely last
You kept right on loving
I went on a fast
Now I am too thin
And your love is too vast

But I know
From your eyes
And I know
From your smile
That tonight will be fine
Will be fine
Will be fine
Will be fine
For a while

I choose the rooms
That I live in with care
The windows are small
And the walls almost bare
There's only one bed
And there's only one prayer
I listen all night
For your step on the stair

But I know
From your eyes
And I know
From your smile
That tonight will be fine
Will be fine
Will be fine
Will be fine
For a while

Oh sometimes I see
Her undressing for me
She's the soft naked lady
Love meant her to be
And she's moving her body
So brave and so free
If I've got to remember
That's a fine memory

And I know
From her eyes
And I know
From her smile
That tonight will be fine
Will be fine
Will be fine
Will be fine
For a while
