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
