"Tonight" is a song that is featured in the 2021 live-action feature film, West Side Story. As a musical interpretation of the balcony scene from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the song is a duet featuring Tony (Ansel Elgort) and María (Rachel Zegler) as they confirm their love for each other.
Lyrics[]
María:
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes, in my words, and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever!
Tony:
And there's nothing for me but María
Every sight that I see is María
María:
Tony, Tony…
Tony:
Always you, every thought I'll ever know
Everywhere I go, you'll be
María:
All the world is only
Both:
You and me!
María:
Tonight, tonight
It all began tonight
I saw you and the world went away
Tonight, tonight
There's only you tonight
What you are, what you do, what you say
Tony:
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen
I know now I was right
For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!
María:
Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
Tony:
With suns and moons all over the place
Both:
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad, shooting sparks into space
Tony:
Today the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
María:
But here you are
And what was just a world
Both:
Is a star
Tonight!
María:
Only you, you're the only thing I'll see forever
In my eyes, in my words, and in everything I do
Nothing else but you
Ever...

- The song was also performed in the Charles Aznavour episode of The Muppet Show as a prelude to "I Feel Pretty".
- In the "It's Tough to Be a Bug!" attraction, an instrumental rendition of "Tonight" from Web Side Story (a parody of West Side Story) can be heard in a mix between an insect sound rendition of "Flight of the Bumblebee" and "Tonight" in the queue just before the score ends where the announcer tells guests to enter through the doors that open for guests to enter the theater.
