Written by tommy shaw Lead vocals by tommy shaw [whispered] "help me kilroy....tonight we'll make history" "i hear you jonathon...meet me at the paradise" 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
