Tonight Lyrics by Larry Kert, Carol Lawrence

West Side Story (Original 1957 Broadway Cast Recording)

1957

[MARIA]
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see, forever
In my eyes, in my words, and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever!

[TONY]
And there's nothing for me but Maria
Every sight that I see is Maria

[MARIA]
Tony, Tony…

[TONY]
Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go, you'll be

[MARIA]
All the world is only

[MARIA & TONY]
You and me!

[MARIA]
Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
Tonight, tonight
There's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say!

Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen—
I know now I was right
For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!

[MARIA & TONY]
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad, shooting sparks into space

Today the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!

[MARIA'S FATHER'S VOICE (from inside)]
Maruca!

[MARIA, spoken]
I can't stay
Go quickly!

[TONY, spoken]
I’m not afraid

[MARIA, spoken]
They are strict with me
Please

[TONY, spoken]
I love you

[MARIA & TONY]
Good night, good night
Sleep well and when you dream
Dream of me
Tonight
