About

In keeping with the album’s ‘'throwback’‘ theme to the 50s and 60s sound, this track is a tribute to Little Anthony and the Imperials.

Ever the pianist with classical inspiration, Joel also paid homage to Beethoven’s Pathetique sonata by incorporating it into the melody line of the song.

This Night Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Didn't I say I wasn't ready for romance?
Didn't we promise we would only be friends?
And so we danced, though it was only a slow dance
I started breaking my promises right there and then

Didn't I swear there would be no complications?
Didn't you want someone who's seen it all before?
Now that you're here, it's not the same situation
Suddenly, I don't remember the rules anymore

[Chorus]
This night is mine
It's only you and I
Tomorrow is a long time away
This night can last forever

[Verse 2]
I've been around, someone like me should know better
Falling in love would be the worst thing I could do
Didn't I say I needed time to forget her?
Aren't you running from someone who's not over you?

How many nights have I been lonely without you?
I tell myself how much I really don't care
How many nights have I been thinking about you?
Wanting to hold you but knowing you would not be there

[Chorus]
This night, you're mine
It's only you and I
I'll tell you to forget yesterday
This night we are together

This night is mine
It's only you and I
Tomorrow is such a long time away
This night can last forever

[Outro]
Tomorrow is such a long time away
This night can last forever
