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 (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, but I can't seem to get to you

Oh, you start to sway

Check tour Cartier

'Cause it's getting 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 a-hoping, oh

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 and paints a smile across your pretty face

And I know everything is alright, hey, 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
