The Good Songs

Lord, I just can't make it tonight

Too many things today just didn't go right

And I just can't get that glow on,

I just don't think i can go on, tonight



Lord, it's getting too close to 9pm

And I'm gonna have to do it all again

And I don't know where it's gonna come from,

If ya got some good news I could use some, tonight



But then, I feel the lights in my eyes

And endless faces looking at me

And I hear their cry, "Make us happy tonight!

Bring us music, Give us light!"



And I just start singing,

I lift my voice and the love comes tumbling out

I feel a trembling joy, I feel a joyous shout

And I keep on singin', I keep on singin'

the good songs, 

I keep on singin' the good songs



And when it's done, I feel so weary

Could a sun feel as tired when it's set?

If tho I'm tired, I feel so peaceful,

It's hard, but I have no regret



Because I just start singing,

I lift my voice and the love comes tumbling out

I feel a trembling joy, I feel a joyous shout

And I keep on singin', I keep on singin'

the good songs, 

I keep on singin' the good songs



I lift my voice and the love comes tumbling out

I feel a trembling joy, I feel a joyous shout

And I keep on singin', I keep on singin'

the good songs, 

I keep on singin' the good songs
