Tonight’s the Night (Barbara) Songtext
von Lenka Filipová

The time has come to say goodbye
Your hair turned grey, and your heart is weak
All your life, you spent on stage
Singing songs in many famous halls
You started young, and you lived your life
You had your ups and downs and highs
Always moved around from town to town
Your home was in hotels, never settled down

Hurry up, get dressed, it′s time to go now
The final night has come, it's your last show
Tonight′s the night
The curtain falls for you, let it fall

You know you've done your share of entertaining
You're 60 now, there′s lots of talent waiting
Tonight′s the night
The curtain falls for you, let it fall


You walk on stage, silence all around
The orchestra starts to play a song from long ago
An older lady in the second row
Tears in her eyes, she remembered when
When she was young, she heard it many times
It was so sad, it made her cry
It brought back all those memories
Of ups and downs, of yesterdays

Hurry up, get dressed, it's time to go now
The final night has come, it′s your last show
Tonight's the night
The curtain falls for you, let it fall

You know you′ve done your share of entertaining
You're 60 now, there′s lots of talent waiting
Tonight's the night
The curtain falls for you, let it fall

Hurry up, get dressed, it's time to go now
The final night has come, it′s your last show
Tonight′s the night
The curtain falls for you, let it fall

You know you've done your share of entertaining
You′re 60 now, there's lots of talent waiting
Tonight′s the night
The curtain falls for you, let it fall


Hurry up, get dressed, it's time to go now
The final night has come, it′s your last show
Tonight's the night
The curtain falls for you, falls for you
Let it fall
