^^ Save Tonight -  Eagle-Eye Cherry

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

The song is principally themed on a relationship where the singer emphasizes on spending enough time with the partner before he goes away. The lyrics imply that the singer is probably going on a trip the following day, and as such wants to enjoy his last night in town with his lover.

He conveys his unwillingness to travel, yet it seems it is a compulsory journey over which he has no control. His request for his lover to �Save Tonight� is his final wish to enjoy the night with her so that he doesn�t overly miss her when he�s gone. It is also his moment to officially say goodbye as they begin a long-distance relationship.

The singer pleads with his lover to make herself available that very night because he wouldn�t be around when she looks for him in the future.

Eagle-Eye Cherry has mentioned to CNN that the song was generally based on the idea of not wanting to experience tomorrow. He added that his personal life has been impacted by the song, in that following its success, he has had to leave many girlfriends behind.

Eagle-Eye Cherry is from Sweden, and the music video to this song was shot in his home country, specifically in its capitol, Stockholm.
