Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
It seems the natural thing to do!
Tonight, no one’s going to find us,
We’ll leave the world behind us,
When I make love to you, tonight!
Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
And hope that you can feel that way too!
Tonight our spirits will be climbin’
To a sky lit up with diamonds!
When I make love to you, tonight!
Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
And the midnight sun is gonna come shining through,
Tonight, there’ll be no distance between us,
What I want most of you,
Is to get close to you,
Tonight!
Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
And soon this old world will seem brand new!
Tonight, we will both discover,
How friends turn into lovers,
When I make love to you, tonight!
