"The Good Songs" lyrics

"The Good Songs"

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
