Tonight - Alan Stone

Tonight is about giving someone room when the answers aren’t ready. It’s about sitting with the silence instead of forcing a decision, trusting that love can remain steady even when the future is uncertain. There’s pain in that kind of patience, especially when part of you still hopes things might turn another way. At its heart, Tonight is about choosing not to pressure someone you care about, even when waiting hurts. — Alan TONIGHT — Lyrics A few people asked to see the words to this one, so here they are. Thank you for listening and for taking the time to hear the story behind the song. — Alan [Verse 1] There’s so much we’ve left unspoken And so much on your mind I can hear the worry in your voice And the questions you keep inside I won’t turn this moment to a promise Or ask you where we stand You can take the time you need tonight I’ll meet you where you are [Pre-Chorus] There’s a love that never dies And still runs deep inside I’ll trust in His grace With whatever comes tonight [Chorus] Tonight you don’t have to decide You don’t owe me answers in the middle of the night We can let the silence breathe Let the truth come when it’s ready I’ll be here, and I won’t make you choose Tonight you don’t have to decide [Verse 2] If all you have is silence I can sit with you in that No need to find the perfect words No need to take them back I can care for you without Asking where this road will go We can stay here in the moment And let the whole night slow [Pre-Chorus] There’s a love that never dies Even when it hurts inside I’ll trust in His grace And leave tomorrow to the light [Chorus] Tonight you don’t have to decide You don’t owe me answers in the middle of the night We can let the silence breathe Let the truth come when it’s ready I’ll be here, and I won’t make you choose Tonight you don’t have to decide [Bridge] I won’t pretend this doesn’t hurt me I won’t lie and say I’m fine There are things I still keep hoping Things I still wish could be mine But love can’t live inside a promise That somebody has to make So even with this ache still in me I won’t ask you for more than you can take And if tomorrow changes everything If this road turns another way I’ll still trust the grace that holds us Even if you walk away Even if you walk away [Final Chorus] Tonight you don’t have to decide You don’t have to settle every fear tonight There’s a love that never dies And still runs deep inside I’ll trust in His grace, and I’ll meet you where you are No answer has to come right now No promise has to shine tonight Tonight you don’t have to decide [Final Lift] And I won’t say it doesn’t hurt I won’t say I’m letting go I just know that love can’t force What only time can ever show So tonight I’ll leave the future Somewhere neither one can see You don’t have to choose forever You can just sit here with me [Outro] Tonight you don’t have to decide No answer has to come tonight Whatever waits beyond this moment I won’t ask you to make it right You don’t have to decide I’ll still be here Here
