Let Me Be Your Tonight

Liner Notes

Well, perhaps just one more? Oh, go on then.

Lyrics

You’ve got all the world before you And you’ve got to make your choice I know many more adore you I’m a single fading voice And the clamor of your future Drowns the whispers of your youth You’ve got all the gold and glory now Who even needs the truth? But there were times we had So let’s have just one more For the good and for the bad And let me be your tonight

I’ll send you off in the morning I won’t stand and watch you go We lay side by side a-dreaming But what I dreamt, you’ll never know It’s all gone with the dawn anyway Things look different in the light Did I say those words? Or did you? Or was it just a trick of the night? I don’t know anymore Let tomorrow bring tomorrow That’s not what we’re both here for Let me be your tonight

And in case you change your mind I’ll be waiting, I’ll be waiting In case you change your mind I’ll be waiting for you

Loved this hook, write and how you emote this. Totally speaks to me. Lovely!

I usually read lyrics first, then listen, and was I ever surprised at your melody. Raw, emotional, and gritty. Wonderful. I was in a folk, country vibe, and it sounded so different than I was imagining.

Definitely a rock ballad - I love how someone knows how 'small' they are to the 'big' star / personality and then the next morning haze of "did that happen?"

Nice work!

So powerful with these epic aching vocals. The piano is just the perfect amount to couple with the big vocals. So soulful and heartfelt!

Captivated from start to end.

Love how you're belting this one out! Great lyrics and melody.

Ahhh, just piano and that wonderful powerful vocal is all that is needed here. A very well performed ballad, enjoyed it!

Beautiful voice, can feel that Soul right out the gate! I love the way the melody and lyrics connect. 'Let Me Be Your Tonight' that line is so potent and I love how you close the chorus with it. Really beautiful work!!

Making my heart tingle. So raw, passionate, and beautiful. Really great writing. "I’m a single fading voice And the clamor of your future Drowns the whispers of your youth" Really like that.

Beautiful storytelling and lyrics. You need to sing this on stage with a band! Everybody waving their phones/lighters and singing along to “i’ll be waiting”.

Respect for this being a one take. Sounds good and fluent. I especially enjoyed your singing in the low register. It carries so much emotions!
