Make This City Ours Tonight

Milton Nascimento


Magic expectation, the evening is starting to shine 
Neon-colored romance, the promise that you could be mine 
Dreams are full of music, my heart memorizes the song 
I wanna dance on the rooftops so don't keep me waiting so long 

My imagination is changing the skyline, you know 
Step into my fantasy and baby don't let me go 
We must be the best thing the eyes of this town's ever seen 
Feels like we've started a party and covered the city with dreams 

But I don't want to see the morning coming 
I don't want the dark to turn to light 
I can feel a dream about to happen 
Gonna make the city ours tonight 

Traffic's going nowhere, we're glad just to walk hand in hand 
Shadows move in time to the rhythm of woman and man 
We must be the best thing the eyes of this town's ever seen 
Feels like we've started a party and covered the city with dreams
