Sweet is the night lyrics

When the day is done and there's nowhere to run (nowhere to run)

And the people of the city have all lost and won

In your city dress you stand and stare (you stand and stare)

And you smoke another cigarette and comb your hair

And the light (The Light) that shines (That Shines)

Paints a trace of sadness

On the street (The Street) I wait (I wait)

But I can't seem to get to you.

Oh, you start to sway, check your Cartier (it's gettin' late)

'Cos it's getting late, you can't afford to wait

So you move along where it's going on (it's going on)

And the people of the night are playing 'till the dawn

And the sun (The Sun) that shines (That Shines)

Paints a trace of sadness

In your eyes (Those eyes) that cry (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 (you did your thing)

And you hurt so bad you lost everything

And the tears that fall on the city wall (the city wall)

Will fade away with the rays of morning light THE LIGHT that shines THAT SINES

Paints a smile across your pretty face (Your Face)

I know (I know)

Everything is alright

Alright... uh oo uh oo uh oo

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, sweet is the night

Now you are near

Dark, dark were the days

They disappear

Sweet, sweet is the night

Now you are near.
