Janis Ian This Night
Here I am dressed for the ball
Does he still like me?
Will he call?
Tonight’s the night
Will he remember my name
I’ve written his all over the sky
Tonight’s the night
I’m gonna make him mine.
And the lights
Will go swirling
‘round and ‘round
And the bells will ring on high
And I’ll laugh until
I cry the night away
This night
Will be mine forever now
‘Cause forever is his name
And the lights will keep swirling
And burning up the day
Tonight’s the night
Here I am dancing at last
Holding my own
Even when the band plays fast
Tonight’s the night
What if the band plays too slow?
Will he forget me
And leave me stranded?
How do you know
Just how far to go
And the lights
Will go swirling
‘round and ‘round
And the bells will ring on high
And I’ll laugh until
I cry the night away
This night
Will be mine forever now
‘Cause forever is his name
And the lights will keep swirling
And burning up the day
Tonight’s the night
(I think he loves me
Yes I think he loves me
I think he loves me.)
(I think he loves me
Yes I think he loves me
I think he loves me.)
Here I am ready for bed
Do I like pretty or
just well fed?
Tonight’s the night
What if I look like a fool?
Maybe I just better wait and see
What he’s gonna do
Maybe he’s scared too.
And the lights
Will go swirling
‘round and ‘round
And the bells they ring on high
And I’ll laugh until
I cry the night away
This night
Will be mine forever now
‘Cause forever is his name
And the lights keep on swirling
And burning up the day
Tonight’s the night
(I think he loves me
Yes I think he loves me
I think he loves me.)
(I think he loves me
Yes I think he loves me
I think he loves me.)
(I think he loves me
Yes I think he loves me
I think he loves me.)
(I think he loves me
Yes I think he loves me
I think he loves me.)
