King For a Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't want to lose that feeling that I get from you
When I'm standin' on the stage I do what you want me to
When I feel the lights shinin' bright on my face
Trouble disappears without a trace
Don't wanna live my life without you being there
It would be so hard without someone to care
Even if it's only an hour it's just the right thing
When I hear that applause I feel like a king
King for a night I just can't leave it alone
King for a night then you gotta go home
King for a night, king for a night
When you're not home at night I feel an empty feelin' inside
I gotta struggle and fight to control my pride
Tossing and turning in bed I can't get to sleep
Tryin' to hold on to that feeling I know I can't keep
King for a night I just can't leave it alone
King for a night then you gotta go home
King for a night, king for a night
King for a night, king for a night
King for a night, king for a night
King for a night, king for a night
