Lonely Tonight
Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 1981 - 2025 Please check out my YouTube channel if you get a chance: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Setting the table. Lighting the candle. Making sure everything’s right. I wish that you’d come So you can join me. We’ll have a wonderful night. [Chorus] But then the phone rings. I answer, you tell me That you won’t be coming tonight. It hurts when you tell me But I say don’t worry, And finally, I say it’s alright. [instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Clearing the table. Dousing the candle. Getting prepared for the night. Feeling so lonely. Why did you hurt me? It’s going to be a long night. [instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] Going to bed now. Still I am lonely. How can I make it tonight? Still there’s tomorrow. Maybe I’ll see you, And everything will be alright. [instrumental outro]

I think one of the nicest compliments you can give a writer of any kind is that their writing caused you to feel emotion, any emotion, so thank you for that!

Aww shucks, thank you! That comes from years of studying and writing different styles of poetry.

After experimenting with the new styles, it's lovely to come back to your comfort zone and revel in your strengths. As always, great job capturing the power that country can bring to your prose. The sadness calls to me every time I listen to this.

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate that. Yeah, I had some fun with other styles for a bit, but I'm back in my wheelhouse for a while!
