Tonight You Belong To Me Lyrics
Eddie Vedder
Lyrics
I know, I know
You belong to somebody new
But tonight you belong to me
Although, although we're apart
You're a part of my heart
But tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey, I know
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
But tonight you belong to me
