Today...Tonight, My Love

Hold tight the touch

It's never enough

Like minutes in a day

We all throw life away

Until we stand up and live it

We take but can we give it?

If everything is just a question

When do the answers come our way?

...Today



Lock in the smile

It'll go on for miles

With every simple illusion

A new constitution

To tell us our meaning

Consequence always gleaming

Making us squint tight our eyes

Until everything slowly fades away

...Today



Today is the day

We can find all life's meaning

Put the regrets in the past

Take hold of what's living and breathing

I will hold tight your hand

Until the thought slowly makes sense, too

If you were put here for me,

Maybe I was put here for you...

Could it be true?



Speak loud every thought

Until I can hear

Every breath that you take

Brings life into me

And I whisper the words

To make you calm and fall asleep

I love you so much

And I can't wait to feel the warmth of your touch

...Tonight



Tonight...tonight...tonight...

Tonight all the Angels will sing us to sleep

Tonight all the shooting stars will wish you to me

Tonight everything is calm

Tonight nothing is wrong

Tonight is the night when I hold you in my arms

Tonight you will dream

Tonight we will breathe

Tonight won't be the last night I'll be holding you close to me

Tonight we will make plans

Tonight will be wonderful, amazing, so beautiful like you

Tonight is the night when you have all of me and I have all of you

...Tonight

...Tonight, my love

Tonight.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This one is a very deep song about possible journeys that life will take me on.  It's about meaningful feelings that come from deep inside, it's about a love that grows stronger with every second, every breath, it's a song about you, Shannon, it's all for you.
