tonight

i know it's been a while now

since you last heard from me

or talked to me

it's been kind of hard lately

i've had a lot on my mind

it's been so long that

i'm afraid that the words may not come out right

but

tonight i'll try

tonight

tonight i'll try

tonight

i know that prayin' ain't always easy

it's hard sometimes to express what you feel inside

especially when you don't think god is listening

it's been raining now for sometime

but instead of what i see

you want me to trust you

working it out for me

so

tonight i will try

tonight

oh oh oh

tonight i'll try

tonight

who ever told you that living in this world would be easy?

baby

they lied

and

whoever said that lovin' folk that don't love you back ain't really hard

even though you really tryin'

telling you what i'm going through

sometimes it's harder than i realize

but tonight i'll try

tonight

tonight i'll try

tonight

so

tonight when you get home

you oughta unplug the phone

and get alone

tell your father how you truly feel

even if your words don't come out right

for no matter how far you've gone

god's love can find you

and bring you back home

so

tonight you oughta try

tonight

so

tonight you oughta try

tonight

who ever told you that living in this world would be easy?

baby

they lied

and

whoever said that lovin' folk who don't love you back ain't really hard

even though you really tryin'

telling you what i'm going through

sometimes it's harder than i realize

but tonight i'll try

tonight

tonight i'll try

tonight

tonight

take away my pain

take away my strains

and let me live

all over again

tonight i'm gonna throw my hands up

tonight i'm gonna give it all up

tonight i wanna turn it all around

put my feet on solid ground

won't you take me where you need to take me

won't you do with me what you wanna do with me

tonight

tonight

this night

tonight

i'm yours

i'm yours
