I'M WITH YOU TONIGHT

I’m laying here with a broken heart
Sweet Girl, remembering you.. 
Is the hardest part
John Mayer is singing slow
On the radio..
Why did you have to go
These empty words repeating

And it’s a lie to say I feel your spirit
Your voice, I almost hear it
That soft touch is just beyond
You’re all the lyrics of my song
It’s not true your smiling down on me
Is that our baby with you I see
No, that’s sorrow’s wishful thinking
But soon I’ll believe cause I’ve been drinking 

And if somehow I fall from this bed
Dripped in tears and dread..
I couldn’t get any lower
Hopeless cries from sore knees
I can’t breathe
Begging please..
But you’re already gone

And it’s a lie to say I feel your spirit
Your voice, I almost hear it
That soft touch is just beyond
You’re all the lyrics of my song
It’s not true your smiling down on me
Is that our baby with you I see
No, that’s sorrow’s wishful thinking
But soon I’ll believe cause I’ve been drinking 

Yeah...
Sweet Girl.. I’m gonna feel your spirit
Your voice, I almost hear it
That soft touch is just beyond
You’re all the lyrics of my song
Soon I’ll feel you smiling down on me
Is that our baby with you I see
And everything’s gonna be alright
In my dreams I’m with you tonight

I’m with you tonight
I’m with you tonight

~Lyric Man
