Elkie Brooks - We've got tonight 1987

I know it's late, I know youre weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay?

Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I'll keep searching, even after today
So there it is girl, I've got it all
And here we are, what do we say?
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last, let's find a way
Turn off the light, come take my hands
We've got tonight darling
Why don't you stay?

Stay
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Why don't you stay?
Turn off the light, come take my hands
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay?

We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Turn out the light

When I heard this first in 1987 it swept me clear of my feet. This is by far the best and most potent version of this song ever sung, even better than the original. Shivers run down my spine even today when I see her perform this with such energy and authenticity as only Elkie Brooks can. Wow, is still all I can say. Wow. - Thanks for posting this fantastic live version proving just what talent this wonderful singer has!

By far the best Version. Pete Seeger's is great but I just love this.
