According to a recent interview Eagle-Eye Cherry did with GQ Magazine, his song “Save Tonight” is simply about living in the moment and appreciating the time you spend with a special person because tomorrow you or they may be gone. He says it is “a song about savouring every instant of what feels like the only night that matters”

Lyrics
Go on and close the curtains
‘Cause all we need is candlelight
You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight (oh)Well we know I’m going away
And how I wish, I wish it weren’t so
So take this wine and drink with me
And let’s delay our miserySave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be goneSave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be goneThere’s a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away (oh it’s true)It ain’t easy to say goodbye
Darlin’ please, don’t start to cry
‘Cause girl you know I’ve got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn’t soSave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be goneSave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be gone Tomorrow comes to take me away
I wish that I, that I could stay
But girl you know I’ve got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish wasn’t soSave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be goneSave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be goneSave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be goneSave tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be goneTomorrow I’ll be gone
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Tomorrow I’ll be goneSave tonight
Save tonight
Save tonight
Save tonightOh, that’s rightSave tonight
Save tonight————————————————————Songwriters: Eagle-Eye CherrySave Tonight lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc
