Love, let us not go out tonight.
Do not cinch your tie about your neck,
Nor clasp your cuffs with bits of brass.
There is no need for a dinner jacket,
For let us not go out tonight.
Love, let us not go out tonight.
Rather, let us talk- here, love, come sit with me.
Tell me of your day, your dreams; tell me of the future.
Fear not, for I will not leave you alone in this beige abyss.
Together, we shall paint our world with shining words.
So let us not go out tonight.
Love, let us not go out tonight.
I do not wish to gaze upon emptied faces,
Or sip rose-colored wine.
There is no morsel worth missing this moment.
Come love, come closer,
And let us not go out tonight.
Love, let us not go out tonight.
And if your voice is wearied, do not waste breath with words.
There is no need to fill the space with idle chatter-
Rather let us sit, here by the fire, and exchange silent looks.
But let us not go out tonight.
Love, let us not go out tonight.
For I want to stay, just stand still in this instant,
I want to hold your hand.
I want to watch your eyes dance.
I just want to be with you, so-
Love, let us not go out tonight.
