Alone Tonight Lyrics

Slipping sideways, silver stars collide
And fade away just like our love that died
And there is nowhere in this universe to hide
From you tonight

I've wrestled with angels all my life
It's always the halos and the wings that keep you blind
And if I'd fought with all the strength I held inside
I wouldn't be out here alone tonight


I wouldn't be standing alone tonight
I wouldn't be standing alone tonight
I wouldn't be standing alone tonight
I wouldn't be standing alone tonight

Alone tonight just like the western star, I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with straight and crooked thinking
Alone tonight just like the western star, I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with straight and crooked thinking

Woah-oh
Woah-oh

Slipping sideways, silver stars collide (Sideways)
And fade away just like our love that died
And there is nowhere in this universe to hide
From you tonight (Tonight)
I've wrestled with angels all my life
It's always the halos and the wings that keep you blind
And if I'd fought with all the strength I held inside
I wouldn't be out here alone tonight

Alone tonight just like the western star, I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with straight and crooked thinking
Alone tonight just like the western star, I'm sinking
The angels curse me blind with straight and crooked thinking

Woah-oh
Woah-oh

And if I'd fought with all the strength I held inside
I wouldn't be out here alone 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 [?]
