Let Me Love Tonight

Harry Connick Jr.

come good fortune

let me love tonight

pardon me from soulless searching

spare me for another with a see-through heart

a heart as empty as my hands to be full

let me love tonight



come good fortune

let me feel her skin

don't deny for which i've hungered

let me taste her mouth only slightly parted

with lips as full as mine have been denied

let me love tonight



come good fortune

let me say goodbye

with no remorse

thoughtless, callous

as lovely as she was she'll remain obscurred

by the morning sun

but fortune come 'fore the day is done

let me love tonight
