Tonight I celebrate my love for you

Tonight  I celebrate my love for you is a classical love song with beautiful sounds and beautiful lyrics. It is written by Gerry Goffin and Michaeel Masser,  recorded by Peabo Bryson -Roberta Flack and released in 1983. It became a big  hit and reached at number 16  in the Billboard Hot 100, number 5 on the Hot Black Singles chart. It also boosted the careers of both stars.

In Vietnam, I have listenned to this song so many times in my friends' wedding parties and wedding anniversaries. It is pity that many people can't understand this. Enjoy the sweet song.

 Tonight I celebrate my love for you

It seems the natural thing to do
Tonight no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind us
When I make love to you

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And hope that deep inside you'll feel it too
Tonight our spirits will be climbing
To a sky filled up with diamonds
When I make love to you, tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do, is to get close to you
Tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And soon this old world will seem brand new
Tonight we will both discover how friends turn into lovers
When I make love to you

Tonight I celebrate my love to you
And that midnight sun is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do, is to get close to you

Tonight I celebrate my love for you

    • I'm very happy to hear this, Fahime, and agree with you about the most sweet sentence: tonight we will both discover... Do you see Peabo's so cute smiling in that time?

  • Yes, I hear it in many wedding parties, but nowadays, more young people don't choose this song to be played again, but this song is still deserved to be on the most romantic chart.
    • I believe that all these songs have the way to live forever in our heart and soul. Thanks for your comment.
