History Tonight

It's the end of our old sunset

Daddy's drunk and he don't want to go yet

I can tell you're hurting

Down inside so deeply

Your eyes and the scars you hide

Shows your hope of a better life

The way you move

Through the day and night

You tread so lightly

But I'll be there for you

I won't let you go

You can count on me

I'll get you through this fight

Your old life will be history tonight

I know you're a beauty queen

But when your eyes they look at me

The belief is gone and all I see

Are your abused feelings

There's a reason for everything

Your father's life and the way it seems

Perfect love doesn't come from

All the things you see in your magazines

Love won't leave a scar

I won't let you go

You can count on me

I'll get you through this fight

Your old life will be history tonight

True love won't let you down, baby

True love's going to get you through

True love won't let you down, baby

No, it won't let you down, no no

True love's going to get you through

Don't you know it will get you through
