Tonight your eyes catch mine
From across the room in a crowded hall
You heavenly lip shaded grin
Makes my heart stall
Tonight
Tonight I’ll sing
Songs of serenading
Oh how long I have been waiting
Tonight
I learn your name
And you learn mine just the same
Tonight
I show you love
I hold you close
Tell you, you mean the most
Tonight
My approach is waning
The thrill off confidence dissipating
The passion I feel is all to real
But tonight your heart I will not steal
Tonight
Drifts on
I’ve waited to long
The wells gone dry
You drift right by
My move was internally thwarted
My circuits have shorted
Tonight
I’ve reaped what I’ve sewn
Because tonight,
I leave here alone

Ooh I had such high hopes at the beginning then you tore my heart apart. Well done 👏
You took us from safety to uncertainty, then to psychological dread. Well done!
