turn down the world tonight

caught up in living

getting through each day

when all the tomorrows become faded yesterdays

are you slipping away

lighted by our schedules

rushing here and there

become strangers to each other

miss you everywhere

how did we get this way

when the loneliness becomes too much to bear

girl

this merry-go-round

tell each other we still care

help me turn down the world tonight

take a quiet moment

somewhere we can unwind

losing touch

we forget to take time

to share what's in our hearts

speak what's on our minds

in the silence

hear your heart beat next to mine

baby

help me turn down the world tonight

so much information streaming at us fast

what i really need to know is if

we can make it last

i wanna keep you close

we make commitments

take responsibility

why do we let them come between you and me

that's when i miss you most

we gotta take this night

throw in our love all the way

before our moment is gone

baby

say it's not too late

help me turn down the world tonight

take a quiet moment

somewhere we can unwind

losing touch

we forget to take time

to share what's in our hearts

speak what's on our minds

far beyond those

with your body next to mine

won't you help me turn down the world tonight

turn down the world tonight

help me turn down the world tonight

take a quiet moment

somewhere we can unwind

losing touch

we forget to take time

to share what's in our hearts

speak what's on our minds

oh

turn down the world

help me turn down the world tonight

in the silence

hear your heart beat next to mine

baby

help me turn down the world tonight
