The Good Songs Songtext
von Captain & Tennille

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
