The Echoing Green - Tonight lyrics

Underneath the open sky

Beneath the stars we cry

And I can't see your eyes

How I wonder where you are

Sometimes you seem so far

Especially tonight

Though I know you have to run

How I want you to stay on

And see how far we've come

No, we cannot always wait

To choose the perfect day

To mean the things we say

I can't let you go

Somehow I think you know

But if you have to leave

Now's the time, when I'm still strong

My sight still clear

Tonight...
