Alone Tonight
Music by Steve Bell / Lyric by Steve Bell and Byron O’Donnell
Still a ways to Manitoba
Been awhile since I’ve been gone
Been a day since we were talking on the phone
Still ahead the longest distance
Just the last few miles to go
Lord I pray there’s only one smile at the door
Will we be all alone tonight
Just to be what we both know is right
Will a candle be burning
Will love have a chance to ignite
Will the rest give us just one more day
Lord I hope she has planned it that way
All I want is to know
Will we be all alone tonight
If my friends are all there with her
Oh the night will never end
And I’ll just have to smile and try to act surprised
spose they’ll laugh at all my stories
We’ll be glad I’m home again
But I’ll just die each time I look into her eyes
Oh how I miss her
I can’t wait till that moment at the door
Just like I rehearsed it
Over and over
Oh…
Will the rest give us just one more day
Lord I hope she has planned it that way
All I want is to know
Will we be all alone tonight
Tonight
