Cohen, Leonard - Tonight Will Be Fine Lyrics






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.

And 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.

  2. T.... H....

    *Songs From a Room" is such a brutal album that this song sounds like the sweetest thing in the world.

  3. S.... L....

    when a beautiful dear local dj (who now lives somewhere else) named skoca plays this, i know everything will be fine. every love i had comes to my mind when Leonard let's a little laugh come out in the middle of the song, how beautiful! bittersweetness that makes you crave for the honey in life

  4. l.... ....

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

  5. S.... H....

    I love the sarcastic flat bass notes sliding down when the song goes to the V chord. Like so much oh Cohen's music even in the sweetest moments there's a dash of the uncanny x :)

  6. G.... ....

    There is a french version of this. It's called "Demain sera bien" by Graeme Allwright.

  7. S.... O....

    Sometimes I find I get to
    Thinking of the past
    We swore to each other then
    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

    And 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

    And I know
    And I know
    And I know

    Thanks Lisa for posting all these Leonard Cohen songs.

  41. t.... ....

    One of the most positive and uplifting songs and also the most crushing and existentially brutal songs of all time. It's all about that duality, that Deleuzian paradox.

  42. V.... K....

    nice beat -

  43. c.... b....

    fine for a while you gotta do what you gotta do to try to stay on an even keel

  44. Q.... A....

  45. M.... F....

    Lovely song and musical performance !

  46. L.... C....

    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. 

    And 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.

    +Lemmy Caution
    thanks for the lyrics....

    L.... C....

    You are a sweet darling to share this. ^_^ So cute.

    L.... C....

    There are still one or two of us out walking the street
    No arrows of direction painted under our feet
    No angels to warn us away from the heat
    and no honey to keep us where it is sweet

    But I know....

    L.... C....

    He left out all the stupid dadadum dadadees at the end. This guy was just part of the cia mind op they call the hippy movement. Adding lyrics about eating kids brains and shit. Wake up people. This isn’t even good music. Ffs

  47. c.... s....

    but i know from your eyes and i know from smile that tonight we''ll be fine, for a while.
