[Verse 1]
God, you still amaze me
When you speak to me that way
Oh, the sound of your voice
The look in your eyes, you stand there in your grace
You told me that the scars you bear
Are beautiful and real
So turn the lights back on again
All to see the things you feel

[Chorus]
And we've got one night
To let the whole world know
Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see
We've got one night
To let the whole world know
Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

[Verse 2]
Feel it when you're near me
And I know when you're not there
Numb on the edge and so alone
And no one seems to care
But you reach out and pull me back
And love me 'til I'm free
All the joy in my life I feel like
I've lost you, see inside of me

[Chorus]
And we've got one night
To let the whole world know
Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see
We've got one night
To let the whole world know
Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

[Verse 3]
Life's a song I'll sing
And it doesn't matter anymore if anyone is listening to me
'Cause you move like light
You send all to me, tend to pull me through my life

[Chorus]
And we've got one night
To let the whole world know
Just how perfect we could be
Just close your eyes and then you'll see
We've got one night
To let the whole world know
Forget about the falling stars
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

[Outro]
We are
We are
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are
Tonight we'll show them who we are, we are

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
