Just You Tonight

Lucy Kaplansky


It's not the altitude 
That takes my breath away 
And makes my body think the air's too thin 
It's not the bourbon, you've been drinking 
That burns like autumn leaves against my skin 

It's just you, you tonight 
And the music you heard in me somehow 
It's just you tonight 
And I swear to you I'm listening now 

It's not a fable 
That give meaning 
To the language my heart speaks to you 
It's not road map 
That tells me I've come home 
Lying here in the quiet next to you 

It's just you, you tonight 
And the music you heard in me somehow 
It's just you tonight 
And I swear to you I'm listening now 

When you whisper my name 
It's like I can hear 
All these melodies I used to know 
I remember them from long ago 

It's just you, you tonight 
And the music you heard in me somehow 
It's just you tonight 
And I swear to you I'm listening now 

I'm listening now 

I'm listening now 

I'm listening now 

I'm listening now
