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
