Teddy Thompson - Tonight Will Be Fine

Teddy Thompson - Tonight Will Be Fine

Sometimes I find I get to thinking of the past.
We swore to each other then that our love would surely last.
You kept right on loving, I went on a fast,
now I am too thin and your love is too vast.
But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
the windows are small and the walls almost bare,
there's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

Oh sometimes I see her undressing for me,
she's the soft naked lady love meant her to be
and she's moving her body so brave and so free.
If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.

But I know from her eyes
and I know from her smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

The best Cohen cover I've ever heard...bar none.

[TheArchieBell]

this quality can only be called communion with the greater being.apparently cohen said that it was THE best version he had heard--and he,s not wrong.not he nor me. superbe!

[Tonkie1515]

When I listen to this song, the world stops. I've yet to listen to it without crying, and I'm fairly certain 30,000 of those 81,000 views are from me =)

Brilliant! How could it be anything less? - A Cohen song performed by a member of the Thompson "dynasty". 

[rosemarycarson1]

This is how the song should be sung! No offence Leonard but your version is too fast

[agirlandamonkey]

just gorgeous

[Mannati]

A brilliant Cohen cover no doubt, but Roberta Flacks "Suzanne" and the whole "famous blue raincoat" album by Jennifer Warnes are just as good..brilliant!!

This song plays my emotions like teddy plays the guitar. A great song by a great singer. Thank for the up-load.

Speechless everytime i hear it!

[ReyesRFP]

Es una versión que hace justicia a la original :__)

[AkinaSSBF]

She's moving her body so brave and so free. If I've got to remember that's a fine memory.

No. She's Julie Christensen. Teddy's mom, Linda Thompson, did sing in the concert tho'. His dad, Richard Thompson, is one of the great singer-songwriters and a fabulous guitarist.
