Shiv'ring cold on a big city night
Well that's just how you found me, way back then
And in the startled blink of an eye
I knew my life was forever changed

Walking on a high wire
And if that's how life's gonna be
Then I should have all the fun that I can
Yeah, that's a lot more like me

Tonight's the night, right here, right now, I swear
I'll walk into the future without a care
Yeah
Tonight when all my tears have come and gone
I'll say goodbye to all yesterday's sad songs
Yeah
And there may come a time
When I will hesitate
But waiting's part of life, now

Tonight's the night, please hear me out to the end
Could you please be the one, my carefree friend
Yeah
Tonight I need my dreams to all come true
Please tell me if that sounds like a plan to you
Yeah
I know that it may sound
Too simple to be true
But hey, well, that's life too
But hey, well, that's life too
