Open up your tired eyes
And force yourself to smile
Yesterday was yesterday
It's gone  it's tomorrow now
It's here  it's tomorrow now
Now I must go
But I'll see you again
When  oh when
Please don't ask me when
I'll call  I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No  I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight
Light me up a cigarette
And check that my bags are packed
Something I was gonna say
It's gone - till another time
But how long till that other time
I hate to go
But I'll be back again
When  oh when
Please don't ask me when
I'll call  I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No  I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight
Open up your tired eyes
And force yourself to smile
Yesterday was yesterday
It's gone  it's tomorrow now
It's here  it's tomorrow now
Now I must go
But I'll be back again
When  oh when
Please don't ask me when
I'll call  I'll write
But I can not stay here tonight
No  I can not stay here tonight
I can't stay here tonight
