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 todayStart 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, oohI'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 yeahStill 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
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 todayI am here, but since your love is gone
The day's so lonely and the night's so long baby 'cause
I want that love I knew, no less no 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-OooThe night's so long, so long without you baby
And I can't stand it no more
Come here 'cause I want to prove my love for you baby
Come back this is where you belongI'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 todayStart 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 meNow I know how to make love real
You don't know how till 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
