## Lyrics

**Finn with The Talented New Yorkers vocalizing:**

I remember every little thing

As if it happened only yesterday

Parking by the lake

And there was not another car in sight

And I never had a girl

Looking any better than you did

And all the kids at school

They were wishing they were me that night

**Finn with The Talented New Yorkers:**

And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

**Tina and Brittany:**

And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

**Brittany:**

C'mon, hold on tight

C'mon, hold on tight

**Angelina and Madison:**

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

**Blaine and Kurt:**

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

**Finn:**

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark (**with Alissa:** night)

**Alissa:**

In the deep dark night

**Finn:**

Paradise by the (**with Alissa:** dashboard light)

**Finn with Blaine:**

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

Tonight's the night

**Finn with Blaine and Brittany:**

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

Tonight's the night

**Finn with Blaine, Brittany, and Angelina:**

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

Tonight's the night

**Finn with Blaine, Brittany, Angelina, and Alissa:**

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

Tonight's the night

**Rachel:**

Stop right there

I gotta know right now

Before we go any further

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy

For the rest of my life?

Will you take me away

And will you make me your wife?

**Finn:**

Let me sleep on it (**The Talented New Yorkers:** Sleep on it)

Baby, baby, let me sleep on it (**The Talented New Yorkers:** Sleep on it)

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you an answer in the morning

**Rachel:**

I gotta know right now!

**Rachel with The Talented New Yorkers vocalizing:**

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy

For the rest of my life?

Will you take me away

And will you make me your wife?

Do you love me?

Will you love me forever?

**Finn:**

Let me sleep on it

**Rachel:**

Will you love me forever?

**Finn:**

Let me sleep on it

**Rachel:**

Will you love me forever?

**Finn with The Talented New Yorkers:**

I couldn't take it any longer

Lord I was crazed

And when the feeling came upon me

Like a tidal wave

I started swearing to my god

And on my mother's grave

That I would love you to the end of time

I swore I would love you to the end of time

So now I'm praying for the end of time

To hurry up and arrive

'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you

I don't think that I can really survive

I'll never break my promise or forget my vow

But God only knows what I can do right now

I'm praying for the end of time

It's all I can do (**Alissa:** All I can do)

I'm praying for the end of time

So I can end my time with (**with Alissa:** you)

It was long ago and it was far away, (**Rachel:** It never felt so good, it never felt so right)

And it was so much better than it is today (**Rachel:** And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife)

It was long ago and it was far away, (**Rachel:** It never felt so good, it never felt so right)

And it was so much better than it is today (**Rachel:** And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife)

**Finn and Rachel with The Talented New Yorkers:**

Felt so good

Felt so right

Paradise!
