[Verse 1: Roberta Flack, Peabo Bryson, Both]
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

[Verse 2: Roberta Flack, Peabo Bryson, Both]
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

[Chorus: Roberta Flack, Peabo Bryson, Both]
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

[Verse 3: Roberta Flack, Peabo Bryson, Both]
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
[Chorus: Roberta Flack, Peabo Bryson, Both]
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
And the 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

[Outro: Roberta Flack & Peabo Bryson]
Tonight, I celebrate my love for you
Tonight
