Lyrics: Tonight You Belong To Me
Though you belong
To somebody else
Tonight you belong to me
Though we’re apart
You’re part of my heart
Tonight you belong to me
Down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more to dream in the moonlight
Though with the dawn
I know when you’re gone
Tonight you belong to me
