Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers – We’ve Got Tonight

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers – We’ve Got Tonight – Live, 1985.

Those three actions together, that mic drop, the lip bite, and the head tilt as soon as Kenny hears the first note sung by Dolly make this iconic performance! What a performance such chemistry, funny, and professional!

The chemistry between these 2 singers is inevitable!

Lyrics:
I know it’s late
I know you’re weary
And I know your plans don’t include me
Still, here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry? No one will care girl
Look at the stars now, so far away

We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t you stay?

Deep in my soul
I’ve been so lonely
All of my hopes fading away
I’ve longed for love
Like everyone else does
I know I’ll keep searching after today

So there it is girl
We’ve got it all now
And here we are, babe
What do you say?

We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t we stay?

I know it’s late and I know you’re weary
I know your plans don’t include me (still here we are)
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely

We’ve got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let’s make it last
Let’s find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t we stay?

We’ve got tonight, babe
Why don’t we stay?
