Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tonight
Do we have to fight again?
Tonight
I just wanna go to sleep
[Verse 2]
Turn out the light
But you wanna carry grudges
Oh, nine times out of ten
Mmm, I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling
[Verse 3]
Tonight
Does it have to be the old thing?
Tonight
Know it's late, too late
[Verse 4]
To chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise
Oh, and place it in your hands
My eyes are blind, my ears can't hear
Oh, and I cannot find the time
[Verse 5]
Tonight
Just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight
Why not approach with less defiance
The man who'd love to see you smile?
Who'd love to see you smile tonight
[Verse 6]
Tonight
Just let the curtains close in silence
Tonight
Why not approach with less defiance
The man who'd love to see you smile?
The man who'd love to see you smile
The man who'd love to see you smile
Tonight
