Go on and close the curtains
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight (oh)
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish, I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
And let's delay our misery
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away (oh it's true)
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Oh, that's right
Save tonight
Save tonight
'Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight (oh)
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish, I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
And let's delay our misery
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away (oh it's true)
It ain't easy to say goodbye
Darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish wasn't so
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Oh, that's right

By the way, I ended up staying close by for school (for reasons other than my girlfriend) and we stayed together. I still love this song though.
I remember hearing that this song was inspired by Leaving on a Jet Plane, a song similar in theme and also really memorable.
I have two more days left as of now, this time.
I just want you people to know that
As for my own personal interp (which will not include a guest appearence by jesus christ) i see it as people in a relationship and one has to leave (kind of like a military thing, but i'm getting rather tired of seeing THAT all over the place too) and they're spending one last night together before the other has to leave.
I just want you to know that.
The lyrics are pretty literal, methinks. About a dude who has to leave, and his girl who has to stay.
It tells a lot more about you than the song. It makes me think to this guy in the movie “the number 23” that sees this number everywhere.
In point of view, it's just a tragic separation between two lovers (by the way, it could be two men or two women), whatever the cause.
it is about the world war.
during the world war, adolf hitler persecute them(jews)..
they are like saying that they are going to fight for their rights, they are going to leave their families and loved ones to join in the war, they do not know what would happen to them if they still continue to fight but it is worth it because in that way they could protect their families from danger,it is not easy though but they had to do it.
you could also interpret it as a religious thing..
it shows how much the Lord loves us that He has given Jesus Christ His only begotten son for us to be saved from our sins..
I really like this song...Ü
