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

But I can't seem to get to you

Well, you start to sway, check your Cartier

'Cause 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

Wishing and 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

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
