I'M GONNA START TODAY

|
|
I got up this morning
|
And without a word of warning
|
I knew for sure I had to change my way
|
Dusted my mind to clear it
|
My body and my spirit
|
But it's okay, I'm gonna start today, Hey
|
Emotions disappearing
|
I call out but you're not here and
|
I question why I have this debt to pay
|
But I'll do my best believing
|
That I'll get that lovin' feeling
|
I mean to say, I'm gonna start today
|
|
Channel I:
|
Start today to turn this love around
|
I know for sure I'll never let you down, baby 'cause
|
No longer do I think it's all in your mind
|
I get the point and I've got nothing but time
|
To be the way I know I really should be
|
And find a way for love to rescue me, Ooh
|
|
Chorus I:
|
(I'm gonna start today)
|
Working on loving you better
|
(I'm gonna start today)
|
Working on leaving you never
|
(I'm gonna start today)
|
So baby dry your tears away, it's okay
|
I'm gonna start today, Hey Yeah
|
|
Still dream of you returning
|
My pilot light is burning
|
I mention you every time that I pray
|
I sleep with one eye open
|
'Cause in my heart I'm hoping
|
You'll believe what I say
|
I'm gonna start today, baby
|
And from this moment on
|
Even though you'll be gone
|
I'm gonna do everything that I say
|
I wanna be your best man
|
I'll let time do the rest
|
And I'll sweep you away
|
I'm gonna start today
|
|
Channel II:
|
I am here, but since your love is gone
|
The days are lonely and the nights are long, baby 'cause
|
I want that love I knew, no less or more
|
I want you back the way you loved me before
|
'Cause yesterday is how tomorrow should be
|
I'll start today if you will rescue me, Ooo
|
|
Bridge:
|
The night's so long, so long without you baby
|
And I can't stand it no more (Anymore)
|
Come here 'cause I want to prove my love for you baby
|
Come back this is where you belong
|
|
Chorus II:
|
(I'm gonna start today)
|
Working on it, love has the power
|
(I'm gonna start today)
|
I'm working on it every, every every hour
|
(I'm gonna start today)
|
So baby dry those tears away, it's okay
|
I'm gonna start today
|
|
Channel III:
|
Start today to turn this love around
|
I know for sure I'll never let you down, baby 'cause
|
No longer do I think it's all in your mind
|
I get the point and I've got nothing but time
|
To be the way I know I really should be
|
And find a way for love to rescue me
|
|
Now I know how to make love real
|
You don't know how 'til you know how to feel
|
I've been picking up the pieces of my broken past
|
But it's okay, your baby's gonna start today
