Analysis of Tonight
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
Something smiled to me
I know, you couldn't see
After all, that was your smile
Moon still shines and therefor I...
I will make you laugh tonight
You'll forget you ever cried
I wll change black to white
I'm a star so I enlight
Pretty human, please look up
I'm here for you it's a fact
There's no way I could lie
Wait one moment surely I...
I will make you laugh tonight
There's no need for you to fight
Many stars already died
But I won't I changed my mind
I will twinkle just for you
Forget the one you thought you knew
All your life I'm on the sky
I understand and only I...
I can make you laugh tonight
Dream, my child it is all right
Trust in me- your brilliant knight
The only star to draw your sight
