After Tonight
Redemption Through Love: REO Speedwagon's 'After Tonight' Meaning
Lyrics
Staring up at the moonlight
Contemplating under the moonlight's glow
Looking up at the stars
Gazing at the celestial bodies above
I'm alone and I just want to be with you
Feeling solitary, yearning for your company
But I don't know where you are
Uncertain of your whereabouts
Maybe I took you for granted
Realizing I didn't value you enough
So blind, I let your love slip away
Blinded by ignorance, I allowed your love to escape
Now I'm missing you so much I can't stand it
Longing intensely, unable to bear the absence
Please believe me when I say
Pleading for trust in my words
After tonight I never will be the same again
Following tonight, a transformation in me
This time I'm sure that nothing means more
Assurance that nothing holds greater significance
Than giving you all the love I can
Devoting all available affection to you
After tonight I promise I'm gonna be a better man
Promising self-improvement for your sake
Just hold me tight and I'll be all right
Seeking solace in your embrace
After tonight
Post the events of tonight
Anticipating the moment
Anxiously awaiting the opportunity
When I can make love with you again
To share intimate moments anew
Patience is a virtue I'm finding
Struggling to comprehend the virtue of patience
Very hard to understand
Difficulties grasping the concept of patience
After tonight I will never be the same again
Post tonight, a permanent alteration within
This time I'm sure that nothing means more
Affirmation of your unparalleled significance
Than giving you all the love I can
Commitment to lavish you with my utmost love
After tonight I promise I'm gonna be a better man
Pledge to evolve into a superior version of myself
Just hold me tight and I'll be all right
Reassurance that your embrace will bring comfort
After tonight
Following the events of tonight
