Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The way you smile makes everything ok
And when you're near troubles fade away
And when you speak, my
Even the winds obey
And it's the only love that makes me high
I want to see you tonight

Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I really need you tonight

The day was long and the bills are due
When can't go on, you know I think of you
Life is hard, but your love is true
It's the only love that takes me out
I want to see you tonight

Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight ( I want to see your smiling face)
Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight ( feel your warm embrace)
Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight (come by here)
Tonight, tonight I really need you tonight

See the more I learn (the more I learn)
Is the more I love
I just want to share my life with you ( share it with you)
I need you by my side
Every time I cry
Your loving arms will pull me through
And I really want to see you tonight

Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I really need you tonight

Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight




Tonight, tonight I want to see you tonight
Tonight, tonight I really need you tonight

on Tonight, Tonight

BeBe is a Christian music artist. This is a song about needing God. Life’s situations have made life difficult and they are in need of God’s help.
The “winds obey” is a reference to when Jesus was on a boat with his disciples and the storms came, and Jesus spoke the words “Peace! be still”; the line “the winds obey” is a popular line in many gospel songs and hymns. Listen to the ad libs at the end, and you will get a sense of what the song is about. There are phrases such as “You said if there was ever a situation, O Lord”, also CeCe sings the words “Kum by yah” (come by here). When we try to make sense of it without applying the true meaning, it ends up being a random, unconnected set of words. It is clearly a prayer, a cry for help in song - which is not that strange subject matter for a gospel artist!
