Tonight Songtext / Lyric

Tonight

music by Elton John
lyrics by Bernie Taupin
arrangement by James Newton-Howard
Album "Blue Moves" 1976


tonight
do we have to fight again
tonight
I just want to go to sleep
turn out the light
but you want to carry grudges
nine times out of ten
oh I see the storm approaching
long before the rain starts falling

tonight
does it have to be the old thing
tonight
oh it's late, too late
to chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise
place it in your hands
my eyes are blind, my ears can't hear
oh and I cannot find the time

tonight
just let the curtains close in silence
tonight
why not approach with less defiance
the man who'd love to see your smile
who'd love to see your smile tonight

tonight
just let the curtains close in silence
tonight
why not approach with less defiance
the man who'd love to see your smile
the man who'd love to see your smile
the man who'd love to see your smile
tonight
