You’re With Me Tonight Lyrics

Give me a title on this, Brian
Uh, You're with me tonight, take one
One, two, one two three

...Beautiful
Here you go, this is you're with me, take four
(Wordless Vocals)
You're with me tonight, I know you're with me tonight
You're with me tonight, I know you're with me tonight
For sure you're with me tonight, I know you're with me tonight
(Wordless Vocals)
You're with me tonight, I know you're with me tonight
You're with me tonight, I know you're with me tonight
For sure you're with me tonight, I know you're with mе tonight

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
