Just Get Through The Night Lyrics - Styx

Written by tommy shaw

[whispered] 

"Help me, Kilroy....We'll make history tonight " 

"Jonathon, I hear you...Meet me at the Paradise Theatre" 

This could be the longest night in recorded history 

And as for sleep, you might as well just cross it off the list of 

Possibilities 

(now) I'm as brave as the next man 

I won't turn and run from a fight 

And I could last a million years 

If I just get through this night 

I could be a novelist 

Tell secrets never heard 

Pour my soul into each and every sentence 

But I just can't find the words 

Still I know that you're out there 

And you can relate to it all 

And I could bear the cold and stormy winter 

If I just get through this fall 

Don't you know there's no place on this earth 

Where you can run to escape the pain of a broken heart 

It's useless to spend the time it takes you try 

But can't you see that I'm here 

And I'm looking just the same 

And I don't know why... 

I could be a movie star 

The king of hollywood 

Make them cry, dramatically pretending 

To keep romance alive 

And I would humbly thank my director 

And everyone involved from the start 

I could blow them all away 

If I'd only find the the part 

If I just get through this night 

If I just get through this night
