(LYRICS)

Words and music by Jonathan Cain

1
Caught up in living
Getting through each day
When all the tomorrows
Become faded yesterdays
Are you slippin' away?

2
Blinded by our schedules,
Rushing here and there;
Become strangers to each other,
I miss you everywhere.
How did we get this way?

Bridge:
When the loneliness becomes
Too much to bear
Get off this merry-go-round,
Tell each other we still care.

Chorus 1:
Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment...
Somewhere we can unwind,
Losing touch... we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts,
Speak what's on our minds,
In the silence hear your heart beat next to mine.
Baby, help me turn down the world tonight.

3
Too much information streamin'
at us fast
What I really need to know
Is that we can make it last,
I wanna keep you close.

4
We make commitments,
Take responsibility
Why do we let them come
Between you and me...
That's when I miss you most.

Bridge 2:
We gotta take this night
Knowin' our love won't wait
Before our moment is gone.
Baby, say it's not too late.

Chorus 2:
Help me turn down the world tonight,
Take a quiet moment somewhere
we can unwind
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts,
Speak what's on our minds.
Far beyond the noise
With your body next to mine,
Won't you help me turn down
the world tonight?

Turn down the world tonight...

(Interlude)

Chorus 3:
Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment somewhere
we can unwind;
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds...

Coda:
Oh, turn down the world
Help me turn down the world tonight
In the silence hear your heartbeat next to mine
Baby, help me turn down the world tonight.
