someone somewhere tonight

kenny rogers

someone somewhere tonight

is taking their first steps

letting go of the hands that held them

and trusting themselves

an' somewhere somewhere tonight

is hearing their last rites

and prayin' with all their might

that there's something else. so

baby

lie down here beside me

let's lie real still

an' tell me you love me

and you always will. someone somewhere tonight

is tasting their first kiss

whisp'ring softly this wish

for this night to go on

while someone somewhere

is holdin' on to a bottle

pourin' one more an' hopin' that god will

get them through till the dawn. so

baby

lie down here beside me

an' let's lie real still

an' tell me you love me

and you always will

someone somewhere tonight

is stuck in a prison

breathin' but just barely livin'

behind walls of their own

ooh

an' someone somewhere tonight

just found their own wings

an' found some beauty

an' found some meaning

found some truth in spite of it all. so

baby

lie down here beside me

an' let's lie real still

an' tell me you love me

and you always will. and you always will.
