Janis Ian This Night Lyrics:
Here I am dressed for the ball.
Does he still like me, will he call?
Tonight's the night.
Will he remember my name?
I've written his all over the sky.
Tonight's the night,
I'm gonna make him mine.

And the lights will go swirling,
'Round and 'round.
And the bells will ring on high.
And I'll laugh until I cry the night away.
This night (this night)
Will be mine forever now,
'Cause forever is his name.
And the lights will keep swirling,
And burning up the day.
Tonight's the night.

La-la la-la la, la-la la-la la-la.
La-la la-la la, la-la la-la la-la la.
La-la la-la la, la-la la-la la-la.
La-la la-la laaa.

Here I am dancing at last.
Holding my own even when
The band plays fast.
Tonight's the night.
What if the band plays too slow?
Will he forget me and leave me stranded?
How do you know just how far to go?

And the lights, (la-la la-la la),
Will go swirling (la-la la-la la-la),
'Round and 'round. (la-la la-la la).
And the bells will (la-la la-la la-la)
Ring on high (la-la la-la la).
And I'll laugh (la-la la-la la-la)
Until I cry (la-la la-la la)
The night away (la-la la-la la-la).
This night (this night)
Will be mine forever now (be mine),
'Cause forever is his name (his name).
And the lights will keep swirling,
[ Find more Lyrics on www.mp3lyrics.org/7NM ]
And burning up the day.
Tonight's the night.

I think he likes me,
Yes, I think he likes me.
I think he likes me,

I think he likes me,
Yes, I think he likes me.
I think he likes me,

Here I am ready for bed.
Do I look pretty or just well-fed?
Tonight's the night.
What if I look like a fool?
Maybe I just better wait and see.
What's he gonna do?
Maybe he's scared, too.

And the lights will go swirling,
'Round and 'round.
And the bells they ring on high.
And I'll laugh until I cry the night away.
This night (this night)
Will be mine forever now (be mine),
'Cause forever is his name (his name).
And the lights keep on swirling,
And burning up the day.
Tonight's the night.

This night.
Midnight.
I think he likes me (this night),
Yes, I think he likes me.
(Midnight.)
I think he likes me(Ooo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo).
I think he likes me(this night),
[Fade.]
Yes, I think he likes me.
(Midnight.)
I think he likes me(Ooo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo).
I think he likes me...
