Tonight Will Be Fine Lyrics


Sometimes I find I get to
Thinking of the past
We swore to each other then
Our love would surely lastYou kept right on loving
I went on a fast
Now I am too thin
And your love is too vastBut 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 whileI 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 stairBut 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 whileOh, 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 memoryAnd 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 whileAnd I know
And I know
And I know

Leonard Cohen, (born 21st September 1934 in Montréal, Quebec, Canada) is a poet, novelist and musician. His musical career has largely overshadowed his prior work as a poet and novelist, although he has continued to publish poetry sporadically after his breakthrough in the music industry. His first published book of poetry was Let Us Compare Mythologies (1956).

Musically, Cohen's early songs are based in folk music, in terms of both melody and instrumentation; from the 1970s, though, his work begins to show the influence of various types of popular and cabaret music. Since the 1980s he has typically sung in a deep bass register, accompanied by synthesisers and female backing vocals.

Despite not embarking on a tour since 1993, Cohen was forced to go on the road in 2008, following the alleged misappropriation of over U.S. $5 million from his retirement by his longtime former manager, Kelley Lynch. This left him close to bankruptcy and Cohen's mammoth world tour lasted two and a half years and included 246 shows.

Cohen's songs are often emotionally heavy and lyrically complex, owing more to the metaphoric word play of poetry than to established conventions of songcraft. His work often explores the themes of religion, isolation, and complex interpersonal relationships.

Cohen's music has become highly influential to other singer-songwriters, and more than a thousand cover versions of his works have been recorded. He is also popular in his native land, having been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and awarded the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honour.
