After Tonight Lyrics by Mariah Carey

Rainbow: 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition

1999

[Intro]
La-da-da
La-oh

[Verse 1]
I look at you looking at me
Feels like a feeling meant to be
And as your body moves with mine
It's like I'm lifted out of time and time again
Patiently I've waited for this moment to arrive

[Chorus]
After tonight
Will you remember
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer?
After you go
Will you return to love me
After tonight begins to fade?

[Verse 2]
I feel your touch caressing me
This feeling's all I'll ever need
With every kiss from your sweet lips
It's like I'm drifting out of
Time alone will tell
If you feel the way I feel
When I look in your eyes

[Chorus]
After tonight (After tonight)
Will you remember (Will you remember)
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer?
After you go (After you go)
Will you return to love me
After tonight the night becomes the day

[Verse 3]
Time and time and time again (Time and time again)
So patiently I've waited for this moment to arrive

[Chorus]
After tonight (After tonight)
Will you remember (Oh)
How sweet and tenderly
You reached for me
And pulled me closer?
After you go
Baby, will you return to love me
After tonight the night becomes the day

[Outro]
After tonight begins (Begins) to fade
After all, after all, after all (After all)
When the morning comes, when the morning comes
After tonight begins to fade (After tonight)
Begins to fade
