Save Tonight   (Eagle-Eye Cherry) - STING 22017   (Thorsten Hubmann)

 

LONG INTRO

 

 (Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Go and close - the curtains - 'cause all we need is candlelight
You and me - and a bottle of wine - to hold you tonight

ALLEMANDE and WEAVE

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

 

 

 (Figure): HEADS PROMENADE - you go HALFWAY around

Rock in and SQUARE THRU baby FOUR HANDS around

Go all the way do the RIGHT AND LEFT THRU

PASS THRU - TRADE BY and now TOUCH A QUARTER

SCOOTBACK and then come on SCOOTBACK again

SWING with your girl around and all PROMENADE

Save tonight - and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
 

 

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

It ain't easy - to say goodbye
But darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go
And Lord I wish it wasn't so

 

 (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

Tomorrow comes - to take me away
I wish that I - that I could stay
But girl you know I've got to go
And Lord I wish it wasn't so

 

 

 (Tag): ALLEMANDE LEFT and SWING - - - -  - - - - tomorrow I'll be gone

                                                                 - - - -  - - - -  - - - -  - - - - save tonight!
 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

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

 

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 it wasn't so

 

Oh, that's right - Save tonight
