about

Dave got a chance to fly from L.A. to England to record the violins and cellos on this song. The arrangement was done by the same guy who did all of the ELO string arrangements, and some of the string players were also members of ELO.

The beautiful guitar solo in the middle of this song, was handled by superstar-session player Billy Joe Walker, who played guitar with everyone from the Beach Boys to Ray Charles, and worked with such legendary record producers as Mutt Lange (Shania Twain) and George Martin (The Beatles).

lyrics

Tonight

Tonight…..tonight

I hope you’ll always remember
When all is said and done
That when you’ve had your fun
You’ll find you’re still the lonely one

He’ll take your life and make it better
And give you so much more
I’ve said it all before
If you’d only open up the door

Tonight, makes me sad and blue
Trying to get through to you
What else can I do, but say that I’ll pray for you
Said it all for you—tonight

You say it’s God you can’t believe in
But if you feel that way, tell me why’d you stay
When you can change it right away

Tonight, makes me sad and blue
Trying to get through to you
What else can I do, but say that I’ll pray for you
Said it all for you—tonight

(Guitar Solo)

Tonight, makes me sad and blue
Trying to get through to you
What else can I do, but say that I’ll pray for you
Said it all for you—tonight

Tonight….tonight
