Tonight and the Rest of My Life

Nina Gordon

Dm      Bb F C      Dm         Bb F C
  La da daa    da...     La da daa    da...

        Dm                 Bb
          Down to the earth I fell
                   F                        C
          With dripping wings - heavy things won't fly
          And the sky might catch on fire
          And burn the axis of the world, that's why

                     Bb               Gm
                         I prefer a song of sky
                     Bb                                  Gm                  C        Am
                         To the glittering and stinging in my heart

                                       Dm      Bb    F         C
                                         La da da, I feel so light
                                         This is all I wanna feel tonight
                                         La da da, I feel so light
                                         Tonight and the rest of my life

          Gleaming in the dark sea
          I'm as light as air - floating there breathlessly
          When the dream dissolves I open up my eyes
          I realize that

                         Everything is shore and sea
                         Weightlessness is passing over me

                                         La da da, I feel so light
                                         This is all I wanna feel tonight
                                         La da da, I feel so light
                                         Tonight and the rest of my life
                                         Tonight and the rest of my life
                                         La da da...

                         Everything is waves and stars
                         The universe is resting in my arms

                                                         Dm A7  Bb F
                                                            I  feel  so  light
                                                            This is all I wanna feel tonight
                                                            I feel so light
                                                         Dm Bb                  F                C
                                                            Tonight and the rest of my life

                                         La da da, I feel so light
                                         This is all I wanna feel tonight
                                         La da da, I feel so light
                                         Tonight and the rest of my life
                                         Tonight and the rest of my life...
