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 today

Start 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, ooh

(I'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 yeah

Still 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, baby

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 today

I am here, but since your love is gone

The days are lonely and the nights are long, baby 'cause

I want that love I knew, no less or 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, ooo

The night's so long, so long without you baby

And I can't stand it no more (anymore)

Come here 'cause I want to prove my love for you baby

Come back this is where you belong

(I'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 today

Start 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

Now I know how to make love real

You don't know how 'til 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
