Eddie Schwartz: Not tonight [lyrics]

Eddie Schwartz

Not tonight

Her lips, her arms

The night was gentle and warm

The lights shine from the city

We parked where the view was pretty

Our hearts beat fast

The time for conversation was past

I felt her body arch

Her lips began to part

CHORUS

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no

Not tonight

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no

Not tonight

Green nails, blue coat

A red scarf tied around her white throat

"What did you do that for?"

She asked me as I locked her door

"It's OK, it's all right

You don't have to love me tonight"

And then her eyes grew wise

And I alone heard how she cried

CHORUS

No, no, no, no, no, no

I was stopped at the gate of heaven

I was stopped at the gate of heaven

I was stopped at the gate of heaven

I was stopped at the gate of heaven

My wrists are tied

A priest kneels at my side

A jailor turns a key

Footsteps are coming for me

CHORUS
