Michael Benjamin - The World Is Still Beautiful

Tonight I Don't Want to Change a Thing

I wanted to be an artist
I wanted to be a writer
I wanted to be a gambler, a prophet, and a healer

I wanted to be the city lights
The bench on the side of the road
And the white flag in front of your door

I wanted to be a painter
To paint every inch of your beautiful skin
Till I could finally find myself in it

I've tried to be a lover
I wanted to be your lover
Get lost in the depths of your eyes
Just like I used to when I was seventeen

I've tried to be an actor
I wanted to play the part
But I always forget the lines
Yeah, I always forget my lines

Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
I'm just gonna sit here and wait

Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
I'm just gonna sit here and wait

I've tried to be a wise man
Something like a preacher
Give me a microphone
Give me a microphone and a crowd

I've done my part to please the Lord
Done my part to please the Lord
Singing hallelujah
Hallelujah
I've tried my best to break with it
Run as far as I could to get away from it
Too afraid to face the man in the mirror
So I just broke the glass
And I cut myself with it

I've tried to be a smoker, a drinker, a drunk
Just everything that I am not
But I miss the smoke in the studio

Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
I'm just gonna sit here and wait

Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
I'm just gonna sit here and wait

Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
Tonight, I don't wanna change a thing
I'm just gonna sit here and wait
