Turn Down The World Tonight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Caught up in living
Getting through each day
When all the tomorrows become faded yesterdays
Are you slipping away
Lighted by our schedules
Rushing here and there
Become strangers to each other
Miss you everywhere
How did we get this way
When the loneliness becomes too much to bear
Girl, this merry-go-round
Tell each other we still care
Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment, somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds
In the silence, hear your heart beat next to mine
Baby, help me turn down the world tonight

[Chorus]
So much information streaming at us fast
What I really need to know is if
We can make it last
I want to keep you close
[Verse 2]
We make commitments
Take responsibility
Why do we let them come between you and me
That's when I miss you most
We got to take this night
Throw in our love all the way
Before our moment is gone
Baby, say it's not too late
Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment, somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds
Far beyond those, with your body next to mine
Won't you help me turn down the world tonight
Turn down the world tonight

[Chorus]
Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment, somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds

[Outro]
Oh, turn down the world
Help me turn down the world tonight
In the silence, hear your heart beat next to mine
Baby, help me turn down the world tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
