JUST FOR TO-NIGHT
(George L. Cobb,   1914)


Oh Honey I'm so sad and blue, 
I cry and sigh the long night through; 
I can't eat, I can't sleep, 
Since you have been away 
And there's so much to say. 
I wonder if I'm right or wrong, 
I've thought about you all day long, 
Kissed your picture and it made me long for you, 
Honey, just for tonight.

I wonder if you'll ever know 
Just how I've cried and missed you so; 
Want you here, want you near, 
Say you'll come back to me,
Oh, honey can't you see, 
I want your love and nothing more, 
Just love me as you did before, 
Let me hear you say you'll never leave me, dear, 
Honey, just for tonight.

Just for tonight, I want you only, 
Just for tonight, I long for you;
Why did you leave me, 
Why did you grieve me, 
Can't you believe me, 
My heart is true. 
I can't forget the things you told me, 
I miss your smile, and kisses too; 
So Honey, hear my plea, 
Oh listen to my plea, 
I want the love you took away brought back to me 
Just for tonight, 
Just for tonight.
