Lyrics

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 Oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier 'Cause it's gettin' late, you can't afford to wait So you move along where it's goin' on And the people of the night are playin' 'till the dawn And the sun that shines Paints a trace of sadness in your eyes that cry Wishin' and hopin' 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, I know Everything is alright, alright 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 (Sweet is the night) 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 (Now you are near)
