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;
Oh, 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
And place it in your hands.
Oh, 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 you smile,
Who'd love to see you smile.
Tonight.

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.
