Tonight

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

(VERY LONG INSTRUMENTAL INTRODUCTION)

Tonight
Do we have to fight again
Tonight
I just want to go to sleep
Turn out the light
But you wanna carry grudges
Nine times out of ten
Mmm, I see the storm approaching
Long before the rain starts falling

Tonight
Does it have to be the old thing
Tonight
It's late, too late
To chase the rainbow that you're after
I'd like to find a compromise
Ooh! And 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 you smile
Who'd love to see you smile tonight

(INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE)

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
The man who'd love to see you smile tonight
