Tonight
B.Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take pride in never wearing a frown
But when the chips fall another way
Your crying can be heard across town
It's a misunderstanding
Ain't no wrong or right
Just as long as you're with me
Tonight - Anyway the wind blows
Tonight - Doesn't matter where we go
You try to meet with your so called friends
But they're always gone - got something to do
They're so concerned with the latest trends
They don't even know they're special to you
Think you're way over due now
Maybe the time is right
So take my hand and come with me
Tonight - Anyway the wind blows
Tonight - Doesn't matter where we go
Tonight - We shouldn't even look back
Tonight - We're heading down the right track
I don't see any rhyme or reason
Why we should give up without a fight
Look hard you'll see the light
'Cause you know there's so much more
Tonight
We've got nothing to lose now
Get ready for the flight
So buckle up and make sure you hold on and stay with me
Tonight - Anyway the wind blows
Tonight - Doesn't matter where we go
Tonight - We shouldn't even look back
Tonight - We're heading down the right track
Tonight
The lyrics of B.Thompson's song, "Tonight," convey a message of hope and optimism in the face of adversity. The song opens with the singer hearing someone talking about their pride in never wearing a frown, but the singer knows that person's true emotions, and they can hear the tears when things go wrong. The song then shifts to the singer's desire to help that person by going out for the night, regardless of where they end up, or what happens along the way. The chorus repeats the mantra, "Tonight - Anyway the wind blows. Tonight - Doesn't matter where we go," emphasizing the importance of living in the moment and embracing life's possibilities.
The second verse reveals that the person the singer is helping has trouble connecting with friends who are always busy, which makes them feel lonely and underappreciated. The singer knows they are overdue for a night out, and that perhaps it's time to take a chance and enjoy the moment with no expectations. The main message of the song is to encourage the listener to seize the day, not to give up without a fight, and to look for the light even in the darkest of moments.

"For You I Will"
When you're feeling lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better
I'll be there to protect you
See you through
I'll be there and there is nothing I won't do
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you
For you I will
I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let no harm come your way
Oh these arms will be your shelter
No, these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I'll keep you safe
I'll stand beside you, right or wrong
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
And I will be
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you
For you I will
For you I will lay my life on the line
For you I will fight
For you I will die
With every breath, with all my soul
I'll give my world
I'll give it all
Put your faith in me
(put your faith in me)
And I'll do anything
I will cross the ocean for you
(I will cross the ocean for you)
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you (promise you)
For you I will, I will, I will, I will
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need (Anything you need)
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you (I promise you)
For you I will
I promise you
For you I will
