Janis Ian — This Night

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 (La la la la la, la la la la la) (La la la la la, la la la la la) [Verse 2] Here I am dancing at last Holding my own even whеn the band plays fast Tonight's the night What if the band plays too slow? Will hе forget me and leave me stranded? How do you know Just how far to go? [Chorus] And the lights will go swirling 'round and 'round (La la la la la) And the bells will ring on high (La la la la la) And I'll laugh until I cry the night away (La la la la la) This night (This night) will be mine forever now (Be mine) 'Cause forever is his name (This night) 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, yes, I think he loves me) [Verse 3] Here I am ready for bed Do I look 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? Or maybe he's scared, too [Chorus] 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 (This night) will be mine forever now (Be mine) 'Cause forever is his name (This night) And the lights will keep swirling and burning up the day Tonight's the night [Outro] (This night) (Be mine) (This night) (I think he loves me, yes, I think he loves me) (Be mine) (I think he loves me, yes, I think he loves me, ooh) (This night) (I think he loves me, yes, I think he loves me) (Be mine)
