This won't wreck my life,

Just because he left me.

I know I'll survive, 

And a year from now, I'll barely remember.

I'll forget those eyes,

And the way he held me.

I'll start a whole new life,

Tomorrow. 

But what about tonight?

How will I get through it?

Livin' with this loneliness,

Is somethin' I can't do yet.

If I give time a little time,

I know it's gonna heal me.

An' someday I'll be alright.

But what about tonight?



I'll take his photograph,

Down from the mantle.

Maybe, just for laughs,

I'll read where he wrote: "Yours forever."

These tears will go away.

My hands will stop their shakin'.

This hurt will start to fade,

Tomorrow.



But what about tonight?

How will I get through it?

Livin' with this loneliness,

Is somethin' I can't do yet.

If I give time a little time,

I know it's gonna heal me.

An' someday I'll be alright.

But what about tonight?



Instrumental break.



What about tonight?

How will I get through it?

Livin' with this loneliness,

Is somethin' I can't do yet.

If I give time a little time,

I know it's gonna heal me.

An' someday I'll be alright.

But what about tonight?
