Luther Vandross - I'm Gonna Start Today Lyrics






I got up this morning
And without a word of warning
I knew for sure I had to change my way

Dusted my mind to clear it
My body and my spirit
But it's okay, I'm gonna start today, hey

Emotions disappearing
I call out but you're not here and
I question why I have this debt to pay

But I'll do my best believing
And I'll get that lovin' feeling
I mean to say, I'm gonna start today

Start today to turn this love around
I know for sure I'll never let you down, baby
'Cause no longer do I think, it's all in your mind

I get the point and I've got nothing but time
To be the way, I know I really should be
And find a way for love to rescue me, ooh

(I'm gonna start today)
Working on loving you better
(I'm gonna start today)
Working on leaving you never

(I'm gonna start today)
So baby, dry your tears away, it's okay
(I'm gonna start today, yeah, yeah)

Still dream of you returning
My pilot light is burning
I mention you every time that I pray

And I sleep with one eye open
'Cause in my heart I'm hoping
You'll believe what I say
I'm gonna start today, baby

And from this moment on
Even though, you'll be gone
I'm gonna do everything that I say

I wanna be your best man
I'll let time do the rest
And I'll sweep you away
I'm gonna start today

I am here but since your love is gone
The days are lonely and the nights are long, baby
'Cause I want that love I knew, no less or more

I want you back the way you loved me before
'Cause yesterday is how tomorrow should be
I'll start today if you will rescue me

Ooh, the night's so long, so long without you baby
And I can't stand it no more, anymore
Come here 'cause I want to prove my love for you, baby
Come back, this is where you belong

(I'm gonna start today)
Working on it, love has the power
(I'm gonna start today)
I'm working on it every, every, every hour

(I'm gonna start today)
So baby, dry those tears away, it's okay
(I'm gonna start today)

Start today to turn this love around
I know for sure I'll never let you down, baby
'Cause no longer do I think it's all in your mind

I get the point and I've got nothing but time
To be the way, I know I really should be
And find a way for love to rescue me

Now, I know how to make love real
You don't know how, 'til you know how to feel
I've been picking up the pieces of my broken past
But it's okay, your baby's gonna start today

(I'm gonna start today)
Working on loving you better
(I'm gonna start today)
Working on leaving you never

(I'm gonna start today)
So baby, dry your tears away, it's okay
(I'm gonna start today)

(I'm gonna start today)
Ooh, yeah, love has the power
(I'm gonna start today)
I'm working on it every, every, every hour

(I'm gonna start today)
So baby, dry those tears away, it's okay
(I'm gonna start today)

(I'm gonna start today)
Working on loving you, yes I am
(I'm gonna start today)
You are one of a kind, you've made up my mind

(I'm gonna start today)
Baby, dry your tears away
(I'm gonna start today)

I'm gonna start today
I'm gonna start today
I'm gonna start today
