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

There's a log on the fire

And it burns like me for you

Tomorrow comes with one desire

To take me away (ohh it's true)

It ain't easy to say good-bye

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

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, oh that's right
