Sweet Is the Night

When the day is done
And there's nowhere to run,
And the people of the city
Have all lost and won,
In your city dress
You stand and stare
And you smoke another cigarette
And comb your hair,
And the light that shines,
Paints a trace of sadness
On the street, I wait,
I can't seem to get to you.

You start to sway,
Check your Cartier
'Cos it's getting late,
You can't afford to wait,
So you move along
Where it's going on,
And the people of the night
Are playing 'till the dawn,
And the sun that shines,
Paints a trace of sadness
In your eyes that cry
Wishin' and hopin'-

CHORUS:
Sweet, sweet is the night
Now you are near,
Dark, dark were the days,
They disappear,
Sweet, sweet is the night,
Now you are near.

Well you did your thing
And you lost your wings,
And you hurt so bad
You lost everything,
And the tears that fall
On the city wall,
Will fade away with
The rays of morning light
That shines,
Paints a smile across
Your pretty face,
And I know
Everything is alright.

REPEAT CHORUS
