Feel alright tonight, feel alright today
Feel alright because my baby wrote and told me
He was on his way
And I don’t have to cry no more (cry no more)
I don’t have to sigh no more (don’t have to sigh)

And that is why I feel alright today (feel alright today, I do)
Feel alright tonight (feel alright tonight, I do)
Feel alright because I knew everything is gonna be alright
That I won’t have to be alone (don’t have to be alone)
I’ll have someone to call my own (someone to call my own)

And that is why I feel alright today
Because everything seems to be going my way
But this has happened before
I’ve had my hopes up high, yeah yeah
And the very next day, the mailman came my way
But he passed me by and no word at all
My baby didn’t write or even call
But this time (this time) is going to be different
I can feel it in my bones, I won’t have to be alone
He really really means it when he says he’s coming home
He’s been gone so long
Now he’s coming home
Now he’s coming home

And that is why I feel alright today, feel alright tonight
Feel alright today, feel alright tonight
Feel alright today
