I saw my baby
She was turning blue
Oh, I knew that soon, her
Young life was through

And so I got down on my knees
Down by her bed
And these are the words
To her I said

Everything will be all right, Tonight

No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks, Tonight

Everyone will be all right, Tonight

No one moves
No one talks
No one thinks
No one walks, Tonight, Tonight

I am gonna love her to the end
I will love her ’til I die
I will see her in the sky…Tonight

All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Tonight - Iggy Pop and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Tonight by Iggy Pop in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Tonight" means the words set to the music of Tonight, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Iggy Pop. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Tonight and the lyrics to Tonight are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Iggy Pop who came here looking just for the lyrics to Tonight, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
