lyrics

Tonight
©2000, Sue Fink

Her first blush of youth
Has long since hit the sticks
But it’s nothing that a little
Touch of make-up will not fix

But the wrinkles ‘round her eyes
Eyes that still burn like the stars
Well they make her look more wise
So she leaves them as they are

[Chorus]
She’s too thin, but that’s OK
Somewhat brittle, but she still can sway
She’s spent most of today
Getting ready for tonight

Some big party at an old friend’s
– Could be good, but it all depends
It’s too soon to guess the end
But she hopes she’ll be all right

Now she lightly walks up steps
Like a dancer in a dream
She holds her coat wrapped tight
She can see that doorknob gleam

And she turns it oh so gently
All at once she is inside
Night so dark is left behind her
Lights so bright, nowhere to hide

[Chorus]

Strangers’ faces, clear like glass
Hard to read, but still she smiles
Sees the hostess in the next room
Seems so far, it could be miles

Just then someone grabs her hand
Tells her it has been too long
Someone else hands her a drink
Someone’s playing her favorite song

Ooooh – and now she’s laughing with her friends
Telling stories, see how the clock of time rewinds
Ooooh – and now she’s twenty again
Magic net is cast, you never know what you might find
Ooooh…

[Chorus]
She knows she will be all right

Sue Fink Chicago, Illinois

Chicago-based singer-songwriter Sue Fink enchants audiences with her whimsical perspective on the world. Her genre, “urban campfire cabaret,” is folk with a hint of jazz, a large dollop of humor, and a drop of sadness for good measure: think Christine Lavin, with a dash of Rickie Lee Jones, Melanie, and Nellie McKay. ... more
